The papers in this special section focus on applications of artificial intelligence in industrial power electronics and systems. The grid infrastructures and modernization, as well as the integration of renewable energies and using smart meters, can generate a large amount of data. These can lead to high complexity in the power system/electronics operation and control. Moreover, grid contingencies due to the natural disasters and cyber/physical attacks are highly unpredictable and costly preventable, which require fast and reliable data processing to preserve grid reliability and resiliency. Furthermore, the reliability of the power electronics devices and interfaces are very important, and can be improved by using the large data of measurements during long term operation. To this end, artificial intelligence (AI) techniques can potentially make it possible to provide new solutions to power electronics and power system operations and analysis. This special issue aims to investigate applications of AI in power system operation, analysis, planning, cybersecurity, as well as power electronics control, modulation techniques, reliability of the power electronics switches, and efficiency improvement in power electronics applications.
