Call for Special Sessions
Special sessions are the perfect way to connect you with professionals who share the same interests and are working in the same application area. This year, COBEP/SEPC will be hosting a special section on Microgrids, including several topics in this field. If you want to meet people and expand your network, you are well come to contribute with papers and exchange new ideas and solutions on Microgrids.
SS1: Emerging Power Conversion Technologies and Control for Microgrids

Microgrids and nanogrids are highly efficient and flexible technology that aimed to promote an easy integration of loads and renewable power sources. Depending on the power level such concepts could be applied either for a single building or for large residential districts, widely promoting the adoption of distributed power generation. Currently, new power converter topologies, energy management, and standards are interesting topics for the academy and industry. Addressing these topics, the main focus of this special session is to discuss technical challenges, and present R&D results related to Emerging Power Conversion Technologies, Control, and Operational Aspects for Microgrids. Therefore, we would like to invite academics and industry researchers to join us and contribute new ideas, exchange information, and promote microgrid technologies at COBEP/SPEC 2023.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Emerging power converter topologies for DC microgrids
DC and hybrid AC/DC microgrids architectures
Nanogrids and residential microgrids and their design methodologies
Solutions resolving interoperability issues and facilitating deployment of microgrids
Power electronics systems for efficient integration of distributed energy generators, energy storages and loads into microgrids
Active power filtering, load-sharing, islanding operation
Condition monitoring, intelligent protection, fault diagnosis and self-healing
Operation and control of interconnected microgrids (i.e., microgrids for districts)
Power management strategies, distributed control and/or decentralized decision making
