Next-Generation of Smart Energy Processing Techniques: New Strategies, Topologies and Optimization in Power Electronics and Electric Drive Trains
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid expansion of renewable energy systems, energy storage systems, electrified transportation, and distributed energy resources has intensified the demand for high-performance power converters with high efficiency, reduced size, and high power quality. In this context, advanced DC–DC converter technologies play a critical role in enabling reliable and compact energy conversion interfaces.
This Topic aims to gather cutting-edge contributions focused on emerging converter topologies, advanced control and operation strategies, and optimization techniques for modern energy systems. Particular attention will be given to high-gain and multiport converters, ripple reduction and cancellation techniques, bidirectional energy flow, and intelligent control approaches based on data-driven or adaptive methods.
The Topic welcomes theoretical developments, modeling approaches, and experimental validations addressing key challenges such as efficiency improvement, passive component minimization, and dynamic performance enhancement. Applications may include battery and fuel cell systems, renewable energy integration, electric vehicles, and smart grid technologies.
By bringing together multidisciplinary perspectives, this Topic seeks to provide a comprehensive view of next-generation power conversion technologies and their role in future sustainable energy systems.
