“Joint Special Issue on “Dynamic Analysis and Control
of Power-Electronic-Based Energy Conversion Systems”
Scheduled Publication Time: September 2021
Ø The Theme: Power electronics technology has been widely used to convert electrical energy at small and large scales, including grid integration of renewable energy sources and storage systems, power conversion at transmission and distribution levels, and power consumption with electronic loads such as data centers, motor drives, electric traction/propulsion, etc. The solid-state electronic power converters enable a full control of power, which brings the improved efficiency and increased flexibility for modern energy conversion devices and systems. The dynamic modeling of power-electronic-based energy conversion systems becomes critical for exploiting the full controllability of power converters. In contrast to legacy energy conversion systems based on electric machines, the wide-timescale control dynamics of power converters tend to cause stability and power quality issues across a wide frequency range, and the limited overloading capability of power semiconductor devices imposes constraints on the acceptable transient responses of converters, which may deteriorate the resilience of energy conversion systems under adverse conditions. The power disruptions have been increasingly reported in field applications of power-electronic-based energy conversion systems, ranging from renewable-energy power plants, high-voltage direct-current transmission systems, data centers, electric railway systems, and shipboard power systems. This Special Section/Issue will serve as a forum for reporting the technical challenges and recent advances in the dynamic analysis and control of modern and evolving energy conversion systems based on power electronics technology. Prospective authors are invited to submit original contributions and industry-focused papers on related topics of interest including, but are not limited to, the following:
Ø Report and analysis of real-world problems in renewable power plants, data centers, shipboard, electric propulsion, machine drives, and other emerging power-electronic-based energy conversion systems.
Ø Small-signal stability and power quality of power-electronic-based systems under a wide range of grid conditions
Ø Grid-fault ride-through capability and transient stability of power-electronic-based energy conversion systems
Ø “Black-box” behavioral modeling and validation of power converters in time- and/or frequency-domain for dynamic analysis
Ø Advanced monitoring and stability assessment methods of power-electronic-based energy conversion systems
Ø Dynamic representations and aggregations of power electronic converters for system-level dynamic studies
Ø Grid forming and supporting control technologies for modern and emerging energy sources and storage systems
Ø Advanced control of electric propulsion, traction and drive systems to ensure stability and transient performances
Ø Active and passive filtering to ensure stability and power quality of multiple power-electronic-based sources and loads
Ø Special control and filtering techniques for wide bandgap (SiC/GaN) power-electronic-based energy conversion systems
Ø Standards, codes, best practices and requirements on stability and control of power-electronic-based energy conversion systems
