About this Research Topic
Modern power systems integrate renewable power generations increasingly to meet the rising electricity demand. This energy transition will lead to power systems characterized by the high penetration of power electronics converters. As a result, the electromagnetic environment of the energy systems becomes increasingly complex, which puts forward more stringent requirements for the electromagnetic compatibility design of the system. New challenges need to be addressed to ensure the safety and reliability of the system. Among them, Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) theory and power electronics technologies are the key to guarantee the safe and reliable operation of modern energy systems. At present, EMC theory and power electronics technology have been widely studied. However, there are new challenges for satisfying EMC standard of energy systems under the new situations such as the utilization of wide-band gap switches, higher switching frequency, higher voltage, and higher power.
The application of power electronics in modern power systems results in a complex electromagnetic environment in which EMC issues occur. On the one hand, fast-switching devices are major sources of electromagnetic interference (EMI), which can propagate along power lines and interfere with communications devices. On the other hand, smart grids and microgrids require a large number of power electronics, and their control systems are more sensitive to EMI. Therefore, in modern power systems, much more attention should be attached to the EMC design and key technologies for power electronics utilization and reliability. This research topic will promote the research on the EMC design and key technologies for power systems and contribute to the sustainable development of power electronics.
This research topic intends to collect and report the latest developments of electromagnetic compatibility and power electronics in modern energy systems. Topics for this research topic include, but are not limited to:
- EMI/EMC modelling and analysis of power electronic converters and drives
- Passive and active EMI filters for power electronic converters
- Radiated and conducted noise emissions of renewable energy systems
- EMI modelling for microgrids and smart grids
- EMI propagation analysis in renewable energy systems
- System-level or Unit-level EMC evaluations in energy systems
- Statistical EMC analysis in power electronic systems
- EMC analyses in smart buildings
- Electromagnetic pulse, intentional EMI, and lightning analyses in renewable energy systems
- Design of mitigation techniques for EMI and harmonics reduction
