“…In this context, the large-scale adoption of power electronics for REN resources, being inverterbased, is making the utility grid more complicated, even to a point where the stability might be challenged [14], [15], [16], [17], [18]. On the other hand, with the advancements of power semiconductor devices (e.g., highvoltage blocking capability and high efficiency), the power converters, as the core of energy conversion from REN resources to electricity, provide more controllability and flexibility; however, the design and control should still be further advanced [19], [20], [21], [22], [23], [24] toward systems that are more intelligent, lower cost, and more efficient. At the same time, the design and control of the employed power converters should be more open and/or standardized to address the challenge of modeling "black boxes" from different manufacturers that are often proprietary to the companies.…”
