Modeling and Control of Power Converters for Power Systems

Dear Colleagues,

Building a new-type power system dominated by new energy sources serves as the core pathway to facilitating a clean and low-carbon energy transition, covering the complete energy chain from renewable power generation to end-use electrification. As universal interfaces for precise control and efficient conversion of electrical energy, power electronic converters play a decisive role in overall system efficiency and stability. Specifically, on the generation end, high-performance control of new energy systems such as photovoltaic inverters, wind power converters, and variable-speed pumped storage units is the foundation for maximizing energy harvesting and ensuring grid-compatible integration. On the consumption end, the performance core of electric drive systems represented by electric vehicles lies in the collaborative design of the motor and controller to improve the system power density, efficiency and dynamic response, forming the key technical foundation for energy-side electrification. Consequently, research on system modeling methodologies for power converters, along with the exploration of their coordinated control and stability analysis across diverse application scenarios, holds critical importance for enhancing the operational performance and intelligence of new energy systems.

We are pleased to invite you to submit your latest research to this Special Issue, which aims to share the latest developments in electric machine systems and power converters in new energy systems.

This Special Issue aims to showcase advanced research on machine systems and power converters, focusing on innovative modeling, control strategies, and system integration. The topic aligns perfectly with the journal's focus on machines, power electronics and renewable energy.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the Special Issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Electronics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
