In the past decades, the distribution system has witnessed the growing adoption of distributed energy resources (DERs), distributed generations (DGs), and energy storage systems (ESSs), alongside the widespread application of electric vehicles (EVs) and the related charging infrastructures. To effectively integrate the above sources and loads with improved operation economy and flexibility, power electronics technology is becoming the key enabling approach and inevitable trend in the distribution system. However, the large-scale applications of power electronics devices also increase the challenges in power calculations, operation optimization, coordinated system control, harmonic stability, monitoring and diagnosis, etc. To better deal with the above challenges, this special session is devoted to disseminating state-of-the-art research efforts and developing the Power Electronics-Based Distribution System. The topics of research papers include but are not limited to:

1) Concepts, topologies, and technical features of power electronics-based distribution system
2) Advanced computational and analysis methods for large-scale power electronics-based distribution system
3) Modelling and advanced control technologies
4) Control interactions and stability analysis
5) Advanced monitoring, diagnosis, protection and fault ride-through techniques
6) Edge cloud collaboration architecture and its applications
7) Data-driven/artificial intelligence-based methods for modelling, control, and optimization
8) Power electronics-based large-scale integration techniques of energy storage system
9) Auxiliary service of the large-scale energy storage system in the distribution system
10) Interactions between the power electronics-based distribution system and the integrated energy system
