Circuit Analysis and Simulation of Modern Electric Systems

Dear Colleagues,

The main objective of this Special Issue, “Circuit Analysis and Simulation of Modern Electric Systems”, is to focus on the most recent achievements in the theory and practice of circuit analysis and the simulation of modern electric systems and wireless power transfer, especially for transportation, consumer electronics, smart grids, biomedical purposes, and other applications. Any topic related to circuit design, electromagnetic field analysis, application development and system implementation will be in the scope of the Special Issue’s interest. Scientific software are classified into three categories, business-specific tools designed by a company itself and for its proper needs and uses, industrial products planned and designed for general/commercial uses, and finally, those institutionally designed by academic institutions, which are dependent on the research needs of their laboratories. For the first category, the platform should meet purely localized and specific tasks of the company. This is generally used by the company itself and called a proprietary solution. In the second category, tools are planned and manufactured to meet a lot of tasks. These platforms are a licensed solution. The third case is an institutional category where specific codes are written first to meet a specific need in a very specialized problem, and then supercharged with additional modules in the next versions and updates, until a complete software is born. These are called institution-made solutions. Our paper is a general overview of the structural and functional characteristics of commonly used software for the modelling and simulation of electric modern systems. Solutions from the three categories are studied and their main features are described and compared according to the criteria of a performance evaluation. Later, we introduce our NMSS solution (network modelling and simulation system). The modules and their functionalities are exposed to highlight similarities and disparities with other solutions.

The main aims of this Special Issue are to seek high-quality submissions that highlight emerging applications, address recent breakthroughs in the theory and practice of analysis and simulation of modern electric systems and wireless power transfer, especially for transportation, consumer electronics, smart grid, biomedical purposes, and other applications, the power electronics application-oriented design, high-power density power converters, and robust and reliable power electronics technologies.

The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

1. Analysis and simulation of the nonlinear electric circuits;
2. Modeling and simulation of large-scale networks and electric modern systems;
3. Computer-aided analysis of electrical circuits and electric modern systems;
4. Decomposition techniques for large scale circuit analysis and simulation;
