Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the increasing global interest in sustainable development and environmental protection, the exploitation and utilization of renewable electrical energy sources has become an important topic worldwide. In this context, power electronic and power conversion systems, as core enabling components of the effective utilization of renewable energy, play a crucial role in exploring green and low-carbon energy. In recent years, new wide-bandgap semiconductor devices, novel converter topologies, and high-performance control technologies have emerged, injecting vitality into the continuous development of power conversion technologies for renewable energy, while the industry has put forward higher requirements for the performance of power conversion systems. As a result, the higher efficiency, power density, stability, reliability, robustness, and safety of renewable energy and power electronic systems has become a common goal for researchers and practitioners.
This Special Issue will focus on the key technologies of power electronic systems for renewable energy, exploring the latest developments and research results in related theories, architectures, topologies, modelling, control, stability, and other aspects in depth.
Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to, the following:
- High-efficiency power conversion technologies for photovoltaic/wind power generations;
- Key control technologies for energy storage systems and multi-energy complementary systems;
- Novel topologies of power electronic converters;
- Optimal design methods for high-power-density converters/high-performance magnetic components;
- Efficient operation and control methods of power converters for renewable energy;
- Modelling and stability of power-electronic-enabled power systems (AC and DC);
- Fault diagnosis and fault-tolerant operation technologies for renewable energy power electronic systems;
- Safety operation technologies for renewable energy power electronic systems in extreme environments;
- The reliability of renewable energy power electronic systems;
- Energy management for power-electronic-based renewable energy systems;
- Optimization control methods for renewable energy power electronic systems based on artificial intelligence technologies;
- High-power electronic systems for renewable energy;
- Power electronic systems for connecting electric vehicles to the grid;
- Applications of wide-bandgap devices in renewable energy power electronic systems;
- Applications of digital twin technology in renewable energy power electronic systems.
