Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Power electronics are key technologies in the de-carbonization of industrial societies. Typical power electronics practice is based on their optimization for a single or a restricted number of points of operation, making it a de facto function-defined technology. While this provides for more efficient power conversion, issues regarding their sustainability emerge once different hardware are required to interoperate. Together with the IoT approach of hardware-agnostic systems, this has been pushing power electronics into a more software-defined era.
This Special Issue has the objective of gathering contributions regarding software-defined power electronics. Contributions may include but are not limited to multi-function topology studies, reprogrammable hardware, multi-function hardware design, multi-function control design and hardware stress due to reprogramming.
