Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Highly efficient and reliable power conversion is of paramount importance in many critical applications. Advanced power conversion topologies and power architecture play a pivotal role in shaping the future of highly efficient and highly reliable power conversion systems. Emerging power semiconductor devices, such as GaN-FET and SiC-FET, and new magnetic materials further fuel innovation in power topologies and architectures and enable new applications. A variety of new power topologies and architecture have emerged in recent years to meet the ever-growing demands and requirements in a variety of applications. For example, there are new power topologies proposed to address the extremely high-current, high-power-density challenges associated with point-of-load converters used in high-power computing application. New power topologies and architecture have also been invented to enable high system voltage for electric vehicles.
This Special Issue intends to collect the latest research on power topologies and architecture leveraging wide bandgap devices and higher switching frequency magnetic cores. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- Application of new power conversion topologies and architectures used in high power computing, transportation electrification, and renewable energy grids.
- Advanced control and modulation methods for emerging power topologies and architecture.
- Advanced power conversion topologies and architectures enabling very high-frequency operation and high-power-density design.
- System-level optimization enabled by new power topologies and architectures. For instance, new power conversion architecture enables integrated onboard chargers for electric vehicles.
- Lifespan, reliability analysis, and modeling for new power topologies and architectures.
- EMI optimization through power topology and architecture innovation.
