Control and Design of Power Electronic Converters in Modern Power Systems

This Research Topic focuses on the growing role of power electronic converters as the core building blocks of modern power systems, including renewable energy integration, grid-tied applications, and energy conversion networks. As power systems evolve with high penetration of renewable generation, energy storage, and power-electronic-interfaced loads, there is a clear need for robust methods to design, control, and operate power electronic converters with high efficiency, stability, and reliability. This topic will explore current challenges such as advanced converter topologies, control strategies for grid-following/grid-forming operation, stability analysis and oscillation suppression, high-efficiency modulation techniques, and the integration of converters into complex modern power systems. By bringing together work on system modeling, advanced control, experimental validation, and practical deployment, this collection aims to support the development of more efficient, stable, and resilient power electronic converter solutions for next-generation energy infrastructures.Goal:The goal of this Research Topic is to gather innovative research and practical insights that advance the design, control, modeling, and practical deployment of power electronic converters for modern power systems and low-carbon applications.
