Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Power electronic converters have become indispensable components in modern energy conversion and electrification systems. Their applications span renewable energy integration, energy storage systems, electric transportation, industrial automation, data centers, smart grids, and emerging low-carbon energy infrastructures. As power-electronic-interfaced devices continue to proliferate, converter-based systems are increasingly shaping the dynamic behavior, stability characteristics, and operational performance of future electrical networks.
This Special Issue aims to provide a forum for researchers and practitioners to present recent advances in the analysis, modeling, control, optimization, and application of power electronic converters and converter-based systems. The scope encompasses both fundamental theories and practical engineering solutions, covering device-level, converter-level, and system-level studies. Contributions addressing the interactions between converters and complex electrical networks, as well as emerging challenges associated with converter-dominated power systems, are particularly encouraged.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, mathematical modeling, dynamic analysis, stability assessment, advanced control strategies, digital implementation, optimization techniques, fault diagnosis, protection, and system integration. The Special Issue also welcomes innovative research involving intelligent algorithms, data-driven methods, machine learning applications, and cyber-physical approaches for converter operation and control.
In addition to traditional power converter technologies, this Special Issue seeks contributions related to renewable energy systems, grid-forming and grid-following converters, microgrids, energy storage systems, electric vehicles, HVDC transmission systems, motor drives, and other converter-interfaced energy applications. Both theoretical studies and experimental validations are highly encouraged. Comprehensive review articles summarizing recent developments and identifying future research directions are also welcome.
By bringing together contributions from academia, research institutions, and industry, this Special Issue aims to highlight emerging trends and technological innovations in power electronic converters and converter-based systems, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration and supporting the development of reliable, efficient, and sustainable energy systems.
