Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid advancement of modern power systems, driven by the increasing integration of renewable energy resources into the main grid, highlights the critical role of power converters in ensuring system reliability, enhancing efficiency, and enabling flexible power generation and distribution. Power converters are pivotal for integrating renewable energy systems such as wind, solar, and energy storage into the grid. To achieve the seamless integration of distributed generators, effective power sharing, and robust system dynamics control, the concepts of symmetry and asymmetry are fundamental to the design, operation, and stability of modern power systems. Given the complex nature of modern power systems, advanced control strategies are essential to improving key characteristics, including low-voltage capacity and operational adaptability under symmetric and asymmetric conditions, which align with the mandates of modern grid codes. This Special Issue explores advanced control, intelligent control, and faulty diagnosis techniques for modern power systems and microgrids, with a specific focus on the role of symmetry and asymmetry in their design, operation, and control. The objective of this Special Issue is to provide insights into challenges related to modern power system integration and to present innovative solutions utilizing advanced and intelligent controls and power converter designs. The goal is to enhance system stability and ensure the reliable delivery of electrical power.
We invite researchers to contribute original research articles and comprehensive reviews addressing various aspects of power converters, modern power system applications, and control strategies. Applied case studies are particularly welcome. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Symmetry/asymmetry in control design for modern power system applications.
- Symmetry/asymmetry in intelligent control strategies for modern power systems.
- Symmetry/asymmetry in microgrid design and control.
- Symmetry/asymmetry in fault-tolerant power system operation.
- Symmetry/asymmetry in power converter design and control for modern power systems.
- Fault diagnosis techniques addressing symmetry and asymmetry in power systems.
- Fault-tolerant control of power converters and modern power systems.
- Symmetry/asymmetry considerations for integrating modern power systems into the grid.
- Operation of power converters and modern power systems under asymmetric conditions.
- Theory and practical applications of symmetry and asymmetry in power systems.
This Special Issue aims to serve as a platform for advancing knowledge and fostering innovation in the integration, control, and stability of modern power systems.
