Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Power electronics technology has become a core technology in modern power systems, fundamentally transforming the way in which electrical energy is converted, controlled, and distributed. In addition, the integration of power electronic devices and systems has become increasingly crucial in addressing the challenges associated with modern power infrastructure, from enhancing the stability and reliability of the grid to enabling the efficient integration of renewable energy sources. Recent technological breakthroughs in semiconductor devices, control architectures, system integration, energy management, fault diagnosis, and fault-tolerant control provide novel opportunities for the application of power electronics in power systems.

This Special Issue aims to showcase and disseminate recent advances and technological innovations in power electronics for power system applications.

The scope of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, the following topics:

  • Modeling, simulation, and analysis of power electronic systems;
  • Reliability design and assessment of power electronic systems;
  • Fault diagnosis of power electronic systems;
  • Online monitoring and health management of power electronic systems;
  • Artificial intelligence-based fault detection and diagnosis methods;
  • Reliability design and assessment of power electronic systems;
  • Coordinated control of hybrid energy systems;
  • Artificial intelligence-based energy management.

At present, the development of the global energy internet is occurring in depth and the construction of a distributed power supply is rapid, and the energy router (ER), as a key device for integrating energy flow and information flow, has important application value in microgrids. In this paper, a multi-port energy router based on a 710 V DC bus is designed and developed with a modular structure design, including core components such as a total controller, a power converter, a hybrid energy storage system, and an auxiliary power supply. Flexible access and the management of multiple-voltage-level ports (690 V AC, 380 V AC, 220 V DC, and 24 V DC) are realized through rational topology design. The test results of the device show that the system performance indexes meet the design requirements. The operation is stable and reliable, displaying strong practical engineering value, and at the same time provides a technical solution that can be borrowed for other special scenarios such as the microgrid system.
