Modeling and Control of Power Electronic Converters in Renewable Energy and Smart Grid Systems

Dear Colleagues,

Motivated by the recent advancements in power electronics industry, and due to economic and environmental concerns, the integration of renewable energy resources into electrical grids is increasingly adopted worldwide. This includes the integration of photovoltaic generators and wind turbines as well as the high-voltage dc (HVDC) transmission systems. Power electronic converters are currently the main infrastructure devices in the modern microgrid and smart grid applications.

The main objective of this Special Issue is to address the recent challenges facing the integration of renewable energy resources using power electronic converters. Topics of interest include the following：

• Modeling and stability analysis
• Coordination and control of power electronic converters
• Networked and autonomous power management
• Protection and fault-ride through capabilities
• Efficiency and reliability
• Interfacing of renewable energy resources and energy storage
• Weak grids integration
• Two-level converters and Multi-module converters
• HVDC applications
