The large-scale deployment of renewable energies and electric vehicles reshapes conventional power systems into more-electronics power systems, where a huge number of grid-tied power converters operating in parallel, collectively contribute to active and reactive power conversion and management. However, uncertainty, aggravated differences between peak and valley, power quality, demand on reliability and resilience, etc., bring great challenges to all grid-tied converters, which are also expected as solutions to these challenges. As such, the rapid evolution of power systems needs new technologies to develop grid-tied converters as reliable and grid-friendly components to play an important role in energy infrastructure.
However, most grid-tied power converters are running independently, without careful consideration of the coordination and optimization along with their partners, thereby leading to huge increments in system cost, size, volume, and harmonics. Independent operation without considering the other converters can potentially lead to degraded operating performance, instability, interference of optimization targets, etc. Therefore, this Research Topic focuses on the coordination of multiple converters in more-electronic power systems.
This Research Topic calls for research papers that focus on, but are not limited to, the following topics:
- Modeling, control, and design of multiple grid-tied power conversion systems
- Synchronization of multiple grid-tied converters
- Stability enhancement of multiple power converters
- Coordinated Power quality conditioning
- Optimization of multiple grid-tied converters.
- Enhanced performance obtained by coordinating distributed converters
- Power and energy management in distribution grids
- Fault ride-through of coordinated converters
- Advanced ancillary functions for coordinated converters
- Next-generation grid codes and standards
