Topology Optimization of Special Power Supply and Balance Control of Distribution System

Dear Colleagues,

With the development of science and technology, the demand for power supply is growing rapidly, and distributed systems becomes a common form of power supply, so that these points have been attracted more and more concentration from researchers. In particular, applications like medical equipment, power test, aerospace, etc., need lots of special power supply and distributed systems to satisfy their requirements. As is well known, the topology is the most critical factor for a special power supply, and the balance control is vital for distributed systems; therefore, topology optimization of special power supplies and balance control of distribution systems is a hot topic. In particular, the emergence of new circuit elements, including memristors, meminductors, memcapacitors, fractional-order circuit elements, etc., brings new opportunities and challenges to special power supply and distribution systems to meet the requirements for actual industrial applications.

This Special Issue aims to gather research on the topic of topology optimization of special power supplies and balance control of distribution systems.

Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to:

• Novel topologies and topology optimization of special power supplies and distribution systems;
• Modeling and analysis of special power supplies and distribution systems;
• Bifurcation and chaos in the special power supplies and distribution systems;
• Control methods for the special power supplies and distribution systems;
• Fractional-order the special power supplies and distribution systems;
• Fractional-order control and its application in the special power supplies and distribution systems;
• Special power supplies and distribution systems with memristors, meminductors, or memcapacitors.
