Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We invite submissions to the Special Issue of Energies entitled “Active Disturbance Rejection Control in Power Electronics”. The objective of this Special Issue is to collect the latest ideas of effective control design, analysis, and applications of the active disturbance rejection control (ADRC) framework in the area of power electronics. Power-electronics-based systems are usually characterized by complex dynamics, stringent stability requirements, noise sensibility, fast-varying harmonic disturbances, etc. Therefore, obtaining the high-performance control of power electronics systems is a challenge in the context of traditional control methods. Although various advanced control strategies have been proposed to date to meet specific requirements (characteristic of the power electronics domain), the control performance still cannot be guaranteed in the presence of significant external disturbances and non-negligible uncertainties in the internal system dynamics.
ADRC, by combining the advantages of classic and modern control theories, has attracted considerable attention over the past 10 years. The ADRC framework is a general, disturbance-centric concept of exploring and solving control problems. This idea enables the creation of custom control solutions that can be tailored to a given control problem. The currently available body of work on ADRC proves its benefits in a variety of applications in the power electronics sector, such as DC/DC converters, AC/DC converters, electrical drives, microgrids, etc. This Special Issue expects high-quality submissions that use the methodology of ADRC to address specific applications and theoretical considerations regarding controls in power electronics. Furthermore, regarding the latest trend of finding an equivalence between classical control and the ADRC framework, as well as the reformulation of classic control concepts and tools in the language of ADRC, we encourage prospective authors to further develop and verify these ideas in the context of power electronics. Energies is delighted to invite prospective authors to submit original research papers covering innovations associated with active disturbance rejection control in power electronics. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Advanced controls for grid-forming/grid-following power electronics converters in the presence of disturbances, unbalances, offsets, harmonics, etc.;
- Advanced controls for DC/DC power electronics converters;
- Advanced controls for high-performance electrical drive systems;
- Advanced controls of multi-level or multi-stack power converters;
- Advanced controls of AC, DC or hybrid AC/DC microgrids;
- Power quality and harmonic controls;
- Advanced solutions of phase-locked loops (PLLs);
- Advanced control solutions for power-electronics-dominated power systems;
- Integration of renewables (hydropower, wind power solar power, etc.) using advanced power electronics control schemes;
- Advanced controls of power electronics system for battery storage, supercapacitors, fuel-cells, fly wheels, etc.;
- Advanced controls of power electronics systems for intelligent charging (V1G) and vehicle-to-grid (V2G), vehicle to home (V2H) applications, etc.;
- Hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) and power hardware-in-the-loop (PHIL) testing of advanced power-electronics-based controllers;
- Finding equivalence between ADRC and classic control concepts and tools.
