Special Sessions are the technical sessions on emerging and selected areas within the scope of Industrial Electronics and Informatics. Special Sessions by Experts are most welcome. These will run in parallel to other Technical Sessions. One session will have typically five to 6 papers with 2 hours of duration. A team of two to four experts (preferably from different countries) may form a team to organize a Special Session. If you are interested to organize a Special Session in ONCON2022, please contact the Special Session Chairs with the proposed TITLE and your brief CV with the list of publications:

Details & Scope: Nowadays, renewable energy sources (RES) represent a real alternative to unsustainable and polluting fossil sources. Indeed, RES are expected to, strongly, contribute in the reduction of greenhouse emissions through the production of sustainable and green energy. The world is now generating more than 20% of its electricity from PV, wind, fuel cells, solar thermal, bioenergy, and other RES technologies. This share of RES in power generation is expected to, strongly, grow in the next decades. It is, commonly, known that most RES technologies are based on power electronics energy conversion systems, such as DC-DC topologies, single-phase and three-phase inverters, transformerless power systems, multilevel inverters, topologies with reduced leakage current, grid feeding inverters, grid forming inverters, etc. In fact, to exploit most of the produced renewable energy, it is fundamental to design efficient, reliable, and low-cost power conversion topologies, which will trigger new technical challenges to maximize the potential of integrating these systems onto AC power grids.
In this regard, this special session addresses the recent advances and new challenges in static power converters topologies dedicated to RES. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Power conversion topologies for RES
Modern control techniques for power conversion topologies
Artificial intelligence-based control algorithms and maximum power extraction
IoT applications in static power converters for RES
Design, Modelling, simulation, and control of renewable energy systems
Power quality improvement in AC grids by artificial intelligence
Advanced common mode voltage and leakage current mitigation techniques
Low-voltage ride-through capability
Advanced methods for fault detection Fault diagnosis and fault tolerant control of power converters
PLL-based synchronization techniques
Electromagnetic compatibility
Relevant grid codes
Battery chargers
