Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Modern power electronic systems play a critical role in enabling efficient energy conversion, renewable energy integration, electric vehicles, and advanced industrial automation. The performance, reliability, and intelligence of these systems are largely determined by their control strategy and technology. With the increasing penetration of distributed energy resources, semiconductor devices, and digital control platforms, new challenges and opportunities are emerging in the modeling, design, and implementation of high-performance control systems for power electronics. Automatic control strategies and technologies—ranging from classical linear and nonlinear control to modern AI-enhanced and model-predictive strategies—are essential to achieve fast dynamic response, robust stability, high efficiency, and functional flexibility in power converters. However, the growing complexity, scalability, and interoperability requirements of modern applications such as smart grids, electric vehicles, and renewable energy systems introduce new control challenges related to system-level stability, cyber-physical security, and real-time adaptability.
This Special Issue aims to present cutting-edge research on advanced control strategies, design methodologies, and implementation technologies that address the evolving needs of next-generation power electronic systems. This aligns with the journal’s overarching mission of fostering new research in power electronics and their intersecting disciplines. We welcome original research and review articles that present innovative solutions, theoretical insights, and practical applications in this dynamically advancing field.
This Special Issue invites original research papers that address the challenges and opportunities in the above fields. The potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Advanced control methods for power converters;
- Digital control and real-time implementation;
- Cyber-physical security and resilient control in power electronic systems;
- Stability analysis and stabilization techniques in multi-converter systems;
- AI and machine learning applied to control in power electronics;
- Sensorless control and state estimation techniques;
- Control strategies for wide-bandgap (SiC, GaN) semiconductor-based converters;
- Grid-forming and grid-supporting converter control;
- Control of electric motor drives and traction systems;
- Modeling and control of power electronics in renewable energy systems.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
