Session 20: Advanced Power Electronics Technologies for Hydrogen-Electric Coupled Systems and Future Energy Power Systems

The Application of Renewable Energy and Carbon Reduction Technologies in Achieving Carbon Neutrality Goals
“面向氢电耦合系统与未来能源电力系统的先进电力电子技术”

With the rapid transition toward carbon neutrality, modern energy systems are undergoing profound transformations driven by large-scale renewable integration, hydrogen energy deployment, and electrification of end-use sectors. In this context, power electronics has become the enabling core technology that connects energy sources, storage systems, and loads, ensuring efficient, flexible, and reliable energy conversion and control.
Hydrogen-electric coupled systems, including power-to-hydrogen, hydrogen-to-power, and integrated hydrogen–electric energy hubs, are emerging as key solutions for large-scale renewable energy utilization and long-term energy storage. Power electronic converters play a critical role in these systems by enabling high-efficiency power conversion, bidirectional energy flow, grid-friendly operation, and coordinated control between electrical and hydrogen subsystems. Meanwhile, the development of future energy power systems—characterized by high penetration of renewables, power electronic dominance, and multi-energy coupling—poses new challenges for converter topologies, control strategies, stability analysis, and system-level optimization.
Despite significant progress, several technical challenges remain, including converter efficiency and reliability under wide operating conditions, grid stability in power-electronics-dominated systems, coordinated control of multi-energy coupling, and integration with emerging technologies such as energy storage and hydrogen infrastructure. Addressing these challenges requires advances in power electronic devices, converter architectures, control algorithms, and system modeling methodologies.
This special session aims to provide an international forum for researchers and practitioners to present recent advances in power electronics technologies and applications for hydrogen-electric coupled systems and future energy power systems. Topics will cover converter design, control and protection, system integration, and application-oriented studies that support the development of low-carbon, efficient, and resilient energy power systems. The session seeks to promote academic exchange and industry–academia collaboration, contributing to the sustainable evolution of next-generation energy power systems.
