The escalation of power electronic based renewable energy sources into the grid has led to stability and dynamic response concerns. Dispatch strategy-based resources can render various ancillary services with advanced control strategies. To fully use power conversion, a comprehensive modelling and integration of large-scale systems is essential to understand and maintain the stable operation of power grids with power electronic-based renewable resources. Efficient generation of green energy is the prime challenge for researchers in this field.

Due to the rapid industrialization, energy demand is increasing drastically, whereas the natural sources of energy such as coal, oil, and natural gas are limited. Hence, the only way to overcome the challenge is the development of renewable and inexhaustible energy. Inverters are the key components of a distributed generation system because of their function as an effective interface between renewable energy sources and the utility grid.

The aim of this Special Issue is to bring together original research and review articles related to the dispatch strategy and power system analysis for an optimized solar energy conversion system.

Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:

• Design of photovoltaic energy systems
• Planning of photovoltaic energy systems
• Protection of photovoltaic energy systems
• Optimization of photovoltaic energy systems
• Power system analysis in photovoltaic energy systems
• Control of photovoltaic energy systems
• Smart grids and microgrids by considering different power electronics tools and dispatch strategies
• Application of smart grids and microgrids in industry, transportation, water, waste, urban, and residential infrastructure
