After emerging from the peak of the COVID era, with heavy travel restrictions and less-than-optimal interactions at virtual conferences, we ventured out to our first in-person conferences over the past year. What awaited us was the heartening sight of more women taking up prominent roles in every aspect of the conference. From influential plenary speakers to confident session chairs, passionate presenters, engaged attendees, and dedicated organizers. It served as a powerful reminder that the traditionally male-dominated domain is gradually transforming and becoming more inclusive. While a considerable journey remains ahead, we made unmistakable progress this past year.

Energy storage devices (ESDs) have become an essential component in renewable energy systems for higher reliability, given the fluctuating nature of renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, and biomass. Thus, various types of ESDs have been invented over the past years, and rechargeable batteries play an increasingly vital role in storing energy in response to the fluctuating nature of the renewable sources and increasing demand for reliable renewable energy sources. ESD options for longer-term and infrequent utilization can be listed primarily as below [1] :

An early mantra of our field was “power electronics inside,” a take on a popular tagline from a major electronics company. Power electronics continues to be an infrastructure and internal technology—throughout the grid, integral to our computers and devices, essential in motor drives, embedded in our cars and appliances, actively managing renewable energy systems, and performing an unlimited range of vital functions. Even though power electronics may not be familiar to the average person, today’s users are more and more likely to interact directly with power electronics equipment. They have many chargers and power supplies for mobile phones and rechargeables. They use flat panel displays and compact audio systems. They purchase lamps and lighting with built-in power conversion and HVAC systems with variable-speed drives. They might have an electric car. They see the growth of electrical energy applications. Admittedly, the interactive experience is not always great. For example, nearly every device needs a different power supply, leading to too many wires ( Figure 1 ), which users rarely appreciate. Human-centered design for power electronics is emerging as an important frontier in our field. This article gives a few examples and hints about the needs and opportunities.

In last ten years or so, wide bandgap (WBG) semiconductors have made significant progress that has resulted in rapid miniaturization with improved efficiency of power converters. Concurrently, the improvements in passive components, especially magnetics, such as inductors and transformers, have not kept pace with these advancements. While advances in WBG devices have certainly improved circuit efficiency and power density, the bottleneck now lies with magnetic components, with magnetics accounting for more than 30% of the cost and more than 30% of the loss in almost all power converters, according to experts. Magnetics design has become a critical issue for power electronics as trends towards high efficiency and high power-density continues.

Impedance-based method has been increasingly adopted to assess the stability of inverter-based resources (IBRs). To get a better view of the state-of-the-art and challenges for implementing the impedance-based dynamic analysis, a survey with general/specific questions has been initiated by IEEE Task Force on Frequency-Domain Modeling and Dynamic Analysis of High-Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) and Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS). The feedbacks are collected from universities, national labs, transmission system operators (TSOs), power plant developers, as well as IBR vendors. It is interesting to note that while many common understandings have been established in practices, certain gaps still exist among different stakeholders. This article intends to bridge this gap by sharing a summary of the survey, including questionnaires, responses from different stakeholders, and the analysis of survey results. The challenges for different stakeholders using impedance-based method are identified, which shed a light on the future research work.
