Power Electronics & Systems: Modeling, Analysis, Control, and

Stability

Recent advances in power electronics have brought a rapid development to power systems, including renewable energy generation, high-voltage dc (HVDC) transmission, flexible ac transmission system (FACTS), energy storage, and microgrids. Power electronics are the foundation for new mobile power system technologies, such as variable-frequency ac for moreelectric aircraft and medium-voltage dc for electric ships.While there has been a steady growth in the use of power electronics on the load side, the penetration of power electronics into the generation, transmission and distribution areas has far more impacts on system operation, control, and stability. New control interaction and resonance problems have been encountered in renewable energy and HVDC systems, which caught many utility companies and power electronics manufacturers by surprise. New modeling, analysis and control technologies as well as system stability theories have to be developed. Impedance-based and other frequency-domain techniques are emerging for stability analysis and control of ac power electronics systems. Realtime and hardware-in-the-loop simulation is also becoming common tools for the design and integration of HVDC, renewable energy integration, and microgrid systems.
This special issue is devoted to the modeling, analysis, control, and stability of electronic power systems. Prospective
authors are invited to submit original contributions and survey papers in these areas. Papers dealing with real-world problems
and practical applications of advanced modeling, analysis and control techniques are particularly encouraged. Topics of main
interest include but are not limited to:
• Impedance-Based Approaches – Modeling, Analysis, Measurement, and Control
• Other Small-Signal and Frequency-Domain Techniques for Stability Analysis
• Real-Time and Hardware-in-the-Loop Simulation – New Techniques, Algorithms, Platforms, and Applications
• Advanced Systems – Renewable Energy, HVDC Transmission, Mobile Power Systems, Microgrids
• Real-World Applications – Fast Transients and Stability Problems, Modeling, Analysis & Mitigation

All manuscripts must be submitted through Manuscript Central at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/jestpe-ieee. Submissionsmust be clearly marked Special Issue “Power Electronics & Systems: Modeling, Analysis, Control, and Stability, 2017” on the cover page. When uploading your paper, please select your manuscript type “Special Issue.” Refer to http://www.pels.org for general information about electronic submission through Manuscript Central.
