Renewable Energy Conversion and Energy Storage Systems

Renewable energy sources (RES) play an important role in reducing consumption of fossil fuels in electrical energy generation. Power electronics is a crucial technology for energy conversion, enabling the efficient integration of RES. In certain sources like photovoltaics, power converters facilitate the integration of these sources with power network. In other sources such as wind and hydro turbines, converters provide improved dynamics for power regulation. Generally, power converters help in finding the highest efficiency operating point for RES, managing electrical energy, and providing functions such as overcurrent and overvoltage protection, which are not fully available in systems without converters. Additionally, the integration of energy storage systems (ESS) with RES to increase energy access is only possible through the use of power converters. New structures of power converters, including multiport converters, aim at reducing the number of switching devices, the size of passive filters, and the amount of generated high-frequency noises. They can also improve the transient response of RES and enhance access to electrical energy in standalone systems.
Although power converters offer advantages in utilizing energy from RES, the increased penetration of these sources presents challenges in power system stability, resistance to the possible grid voltage disturbances. As a result, the conventional topologies and control approaches need to be enhanced to address these challenges.
The purpose of this Special Section is to share recent advances in topologies and control of power electronics aimed at efficiently generating electrical energy from RES and ESS. The papers prepared for this Special Section must include original material that has not been submitted to or published in any other journal. Topics include, but are not limited to:


  • Stability issues of renewable energy sources integration with the power system
  • Utilization of the energy storage systems for improving the power system stability
  • Operation of renewable energy sources and energy storage systems under presence of grid voltage disturbances
  • New structures of renewable energy conversion systems aimed more reliable access to energy
  • Effective algorithms of maximum power point tracking for wind turbines and PV sources
  • Power converters with reduced generation of common mode component
  • Multiport power converters for renewable energy systems and storage integration
  • RES involved microgrids
  • Energy management in an isolated power networks with renewable energy sources

Modern Control Methods of Electrical Drives

Electrical drives are used in many high-performance applications, such as robots and CNC machines. Recently, the rapid development of electromobility has been observed, resulting in demand for highly efficient electrical drives. Simultaneously, fault diagnosis and fault-tolerant control techniques are developed to improve the reliability of the drives. To meet the increasing requirements of the above-mentioned applications, modern control methods should be developed and investigated. In the current literature, model predictive, fault-tolerant, and robust control schemes have been studied to improve the overall performance of electrical drives. An online motor parameter identification and estimation algorithms used in sensorless and sensored motor drives are also investigated. To enhance the operating performances of electrical drives, artificial intelligence methods are implemented in both control and estimation tasks.

The purpose of this Special Section is to reveal the most recent findings associated with modern control techniques for electrical drives. The papers to be prepared for this Special Section must include original materials that have not been submitted to or published in any other journal. Academicians and practicing engineers all over the world are invited to submit their recent original research contributions to this Special Section. Topics are, but not limited to:

  • Optimal, predictive and adaptive control
  • Parameter identification
  • Sensorless control
  • Fault diagnosis and fault-tolerant control
  • AI-based state and/or parameter estimators
  • AI-based fault-tolerant techniques
  • AI-based control techniques
