Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Over the past decade, renewable energy sources have experienced remarkable advancements. Projections indicate that by 2040, renewable energy technologies will supply approximately half of the world's total energy demands.

Power electronics stand as a cornerstone in the ongoing energy transition, playing an integral role across diverse applications, including electric transportation, renewable energy sources, electric grid management, motor drives, and more. In an industry characterized by stringent demands for reliability, scalability, and efficiency, power converters face important challenges as they pave the way toward a more sustainable future.

This Special Issue's focus is centered on, though not restricted to, the following key research domains:

1. Renewable Energy Systems:
Exploring novel technologies, algorithms, and applications tailored for harnessing energy from sources like solar, wind, marine, and other renewable resources.

2. Renewable Energy Conversion:
Development of novel power converters, control systems, and applications tailored to the efficient utilization of renewable energy sources.

3. Power Converter Advancements:
Developing new converter topologies, control strategies, and modulation systems.


4. Technologies for Renewable Energy Integration:
Advancements in generation, transmission, and distribution systems to seamlessly integrate renewable energy into the existing infrastructure.

5. Emerging Applications of Power Converters:
Exploring the uncharted territories of power electronics in emerging technologies such as electromobility, hydrogen energy, smart grids, and beyond.

The low-voltage distribution system (LVDS) is confronted with high-frequency oscillation instability issues due to the negative impedance of constant power loads. To address this, a virtual inertia equivalent modeling method is proposed in this paper, and a reduced-order model along with its transfer function for the LVDS is established. On this basis, a method for solving the feasible region of virtual inertia parameters is proposed. Through this feasible region, reasonable droop coefficients and corner frequencies can be designed from the perspective of small-signal stability. Finally, the switching model of LVDS and its equivalent model are built using the RT-box HITL platform. Multiple sets of experimental results have verified the effectiveness of this feasible region.
