Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The aim of this Special Issue is to explore and present the latest advancements in power electronics within the context of smart grids. It aims to bring together research and insights that can contribute to the development and optimization of smart grid systems through the application of power electronics technologies.
The scope of this Special Issue encompasses a wide range of areas related to power electronics in smart grids. It includes power conversion technologies, such as inverters and converters, which are crucial for interfacing different components in smart grids. Also within the scope of this Special Issue are the control strategies used for these power electronic devices to ensure their efficient and reliable operation.
This Special Issue will focus on (but is not limited to) the following topics:
- The integration of renewable energy sources into the smart grid using power electronics. This involves dealing with the intermittent nature of sources like solar and wind and making them compatible with the grid.
- Power quality improvement in smart grids. Power electronics can be used to mitigate issues such as harmonics and voltage sags.
- The development of intelligent power electronic devices that can communicate and adapt to changing conditions in the smart grid.
- The application of power electronics in energy storage systems for smart grids, which is essential for managing variable power generation and consumption patterns.
Overall, this Special Issue is set to provide a comprehensive overview of the new trends in power electronics for smart grids.
