Progress and Challenges in Grid-Connected Inverters and Converters

Dear Colleagues,

The Guest Editor is inviting submissions to a Special Issue of Energies in the subject area of “Progress and Challenges in Grid-Connected Inverters and Converters”. With the rapid growth of renewable power generation, grid-connected inverters and converters are playing an increasingly critical role in power and micro-grid systems. The conventional power system is evolving into a power electronics-enabled power system. Developments in power electronics-enabled power systems also create new challenges, such as novel power electronic topologies, modulation techniques, and the modeling and control of grid-connected inverters and converters. These emerging technologies will impose a critical effect on dynamic stability analysis, resilience and power equality enhancement of the grid-connected application.

This Special Issue will deal with novel power electronic topologies, modulation and control techniques, and different challenges in power electronics-enabled power systems, including microgrid systems, and so on. Particular topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Novel power electronic topologies of grid-connected applications;
• Modulation techniques of grid-connected inverters and converters;
• Modeling and control of grid-connected inverters and converters;
• Dynamic stability analysis of grid-connected inverters and converters;
• Approaches for resilience-enhanced optimal operation methods of the grid-connected applications;
• Schemes for power quality enhancement of the grid-connected applications.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Energies is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
