Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The topic of “Advances in Intelligent Power Electronics with Symmetry/Asymmetry” refers to the development of technologies and methods in the field of power electronics that use principles of symmetry and asymmetry to improve the efficiency, reliability and functionality of power electronic devices and systems.
In symmetrical power systems, such as H-bridge inverters, symmetry provides an even distribution of currents and voltages, resulting in better stability and reduced electromagnetic interference. Thus, the use of symmetrical topologies in converters can provide better control of power lines and a reduction in harmonics.
On the other hand, asymmetry can be used to optimize the specific performance of power electronic devices, such as by reducing switching losses or improving efficiency under different operating and load modes.
The use of intelligent controllers enables dynamic control of symmetry and asymmetry in power electronic devices and systems, adapting their operations to changing load or power supply conditions.
Advances in intelligent symmetric and asymmetric power electronics provide new opportunities to improve the performance and performance assurance of power electronic devices and systems. The use of intelligent algorithms and controllers for dynamic control of symmetry and asymmetry in these systems greatly expands their applications in industrial production, energy, transport and household.
This Special Issue aims to encourage researchers by combining symmetry/asymmetry in the operation modes and topologies of power circuits and systems, as well as intelligent controllers, to obtain optimally designed power electronic devices and systems with guaranteed performance and improved characteristics that provide reliable and effective operations throughout their life cycle.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include but are not limited to the following:
- optimizing energy efficiency through symmetric and asymmetric topologies;
- dynamic control of symmetry and asymmetry in real time;
- intelligent adaptive controllers for asymmetric/symmetric power systems;
- symmetry and asymmetry in multiphase systems;
- minimization of electromagnetic interference by means of symmetrical and asymmetrical techniques;
- research on new materials for symmetric and asymmetric components in power electronics;
- the implementation of intelligent sensor systems for control of symmetry/asymmetry in power electronic systems in real time;
- design of symmetric/asymmetric converters for specific applications;
- modeling, simulation and prototyping of symmetric/asymmetric power devices and systems;
- development of intelligent communication protocols in symmetric/asymmetric power devices and systems.
