Power Electronics-Based Modern DC/AC Hybrid Power Systems

Dear Colleagues,

For centuries, the continuous utilization of fossil energy sources has unleashed substantial amounts of waste gases, like carbon dioxide, into the atmosphere. Consequently, dramatic climate changes, such as the daunting greenhouse effect, and the increasingly frequent occurrence of extreme weather events that impact human life significantly. To deal with the pressing challenge of climate change, there is a growing reliance on renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power due to their eco-friendly and low-carbon characteristics. To develop clean-power pathways that integrate renewable energy resources, a novel type of DC-AC hybrid power system is urgently necessary, where power electronics are the crucial technology that enables the efficient use, distribution, and generation of renewable energies. This special session will comprehensively explore the diverse facets of power electronics-based DC-AC Hybrid power systems across various application scenarios, aiming to lay the groundwork for the development of the novel hybrid power system. Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:

1. Transmission and distribution structures of the power electronics-based DC-AC hybrid power system.
2. Novel topologies, modulation and design of the power electronics devices for the generation of renewable energies.
3. Modeling of the power electronics devices, distribution and transmission networks.
4. Small-signal stability analysis of power electronics devices in the DC-AC hybrid power system.
5. Large-signal stability analysis of power electronics devices in the DC-AC hybrid power system.
6. Advanced control techniques for power electronics devices.
7. Advanced collaborative control strategies for distribution substations/multi-port converters.
8. Resilience improvements for the power electronics-based DC-AC hybrid power system under grid-fault through
9. Applications of intelligence algorithms and artificial intelligence in the dispatching of power systems
10. Real-time hardware in loop simulation techniques for power electronics-based DC-AC hybrid power system.
