Abstract
The use of power converters has grown in the last years with the advances in photovoltaic and wind based power generation systems, and the progress in modern concepts such as microgrids and electric mobility. A consequence has been the development of devices allowing for the exchange of energy among different distribution buses, and feeding AC or DC loads from low DC voltage levels, whose proper operation is achieved by means of specialized control systems. Simultaneously, the power converters used for conventional industrial applications have evolved thanks to the application of new control methods, and the combination of these with well-established techniques. This special issue contributes theoretical and practical advances to the state-of-the-art field at the crossroads of power electronics and control systems. The seven included papers cover particular applications requiring either DC–DC, DC–AC or AC–DC conversion stages.
Highlights
Despite conventional techniques for the control of power converters established for several decades, the emergence of new challenges and the search for improved performance to ensure better energy utilization continues to motivate continuous and growing research in this area
The published results over the last years, both theoretical and practical, show the important impact of control design techniques which, associated with the significant recent progresses seen in the domain of materials, electronic devices or components, offer new perspectives in a domain where the problems become more and more complex. The objective of this special issue is to stimulate research in the area of control of power electronic converters, and promote the emergence of methods justified by rigorous theoretical analysis and validated with the help of simulation tools and experimental development
Three papers are focused on the control of DC–DC converters, three on the control of DC–AC converters and one on the control of a three phase rectifier
