Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The field of DC-DC converters has witnessed significant advancements in recent years, with applications in areas such as photovoltaic power generation, electric vehicles, DC microgrids, and home automation. Serving as a crucial interface between different DC sides, the performance of electric systems and industrial applications heavily relies on the capabilities of DC-DC converters. However, the advances made in DC-DC converters are not restricted to topologies and control techniques; research on materials and techniques for their optimization also plays a significant role in their development. This broadens the scope of exploration and innovation in the field. Advanced DC-DC converters, as key components in industrial applications, present challenges related to efficiency, cost, reliability, and power density. Topology and control strategies act as focal points in the research community's endeavors. For instance, the emergence of high-efficiency, high-reliability, and fault-tolerant topologies and control technologies sets the direction for such industrial application designs. Considering the aforementioned design targets, novel advancements in DC-DC converters encompass the exploration of novel materials, switching devices, and fault-tolerance techniques. These avenues of research aim to address the evolving needs and requirements of modern applications.
This Special Issue aims to delve into the realm of advanced DC-DC converter topology design, control, modulation, and applications. It invites researchers to contribute their insights and findings on a wide range of topics, including, but not limited to, the following:
- Novel material-based switching devices and components in DC-DC converters;
- Advanced or low-cost fault-tolerant control techniques for DC-DC converters;
- Reliability and security assessment of DC-DC converters;
- Emerging applications and advanced topology of DC-DC converters;
- High-efficiency and high-gain modulation and control techniques in DC-DC converters;
- DC-DC converter-integrated power electronic system techniques.
