Robust and Nonlinear Controllers for Power Electronic Systems

Dear Colleagues,

As the Guest Editor, I am pleased to invite submissions to a Special Issue of Energies on the topic of "Robust and Nonlinear Controllers for Power Electronic Systems". The growing integration of variable renewable energy sources and other distributed energy resources underscores a critical need for advanced power electronic systems, which are pivotal in modern power systems, microgrids, and critical standalone applications. The effective control of these systems is crucial to fully harness the potential of power electronics technologies.

This Special Issue focuses on novel approaches and the design and modeling of robust and nonlinear controllers applied to power electronic systems. Key topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Advanced nonlinear controllers for power electronics;
• Advanced observer-based controllers for power electronics;
• Sliding mode control and advanced stability concepts (such as finite-time, fixed-time, and predefined-time stability) for power electronics;
• AI-optimized nonlinear controllers for power electronics;
• Adaptive and robust controllers for uncertain power electronic systems;
• Control of grid-forming and grid-following inverters;
• Power electronic systems in renewable energy applications;
• Experimental implementation of robust and nonlinear controllers for power electronics.

We look forward to your innovative contributions which push the boundaries of power electronics with new research and developments.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Energies is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
