Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

This is the second edition of the previous successful topic “Power Electronics Converters”, (https://www.mdpi.com/topics/9E8XB1V558). As the technology for power semiconductor devices and integrated circuits develops, the potential for applications of power electronics expands. There are already many commercially available power semiconductor devices; however, development in this direction is continuing. We therefore invite papers on innovative technical developments, in addition to reviews, case studies, and analytical and assessment papers from different disciplines that are relevant to the topic of power electronics converters. The main topics of the section include but are not limited to the following:

  • Topology and modulations of converters/inverters
  • Modeling and control of converters/inverters
  • Power conversion technologies for wireless power transmission
  • Fault diagnosis of converters/inverters
  • Emerging power conversion technologies
  • Application of neural networks in power electronics and electric drives
  • Control of power electronics and electric drives.

In the application of power converters, the ambient temperature (Ta) experiences significant fluctuations. For the case-to-ambient resistance (Rca), apart from the influence of the material’s inherent properties, factors such as heat dissipation structure, working environment, and operational state can all have an impact on the Rca. Notably, while there are a limited number of models that consider environmental changes, existing models for calculating the Rca predominantly overlook the influence of varying working conditions or boundary conditions on the self-thermal resistance. Based on simulation and experimental analyses, the methods to calculate the Rca are outlined, and the key factors, inclusive of the coupling effects that influence the Rca in the thermal modeling of power devices, are thoroughly discussed.

Determining the current reference for a shunt active power filter (SAPF) can be carried out in many ways. Once the reference is determined, it can be shaped by SAPF switches with the use of pulse width modulation (PWM)/hysteresis control techniques. There are many variants of shaping the compensation waveform using these techniques. Nevertheless, regardless of the PWM/hysteresis technique adopted, a switching frequency current component appears in the system. It acts as a carrier used to inject a compensating current into the grid. Once the compensating current has been entered into the grid, the switching component should be reduced in it. This can be performed using RLC passive filters in various variants. The article discusses a variable/stabilized frequency hysteresis current control technique adapted for SAPF regulation with the use of current closed-loop control (source current direct control). For this technique, the passive filter should be placed outside the current control loop. The article focuses on examining the effectiveness of the interaction of the RLC filter with SAPF acting with such a control technique. Full article
