Artificial intelligence (AI) techniques have recently emerged as the powerful and advancing frontier in power electronics and their impact in the next generation of power electronics appears to be tremendous. The advent of AI has brought a challenge to the engineers specialized in power electronics which is already a complex, interdisciplinary and fast-moving technology. The AI provides very powerful tools for design, simulation, control, estimation, fault diagnostics, and fault-tolerant control of power electronic systems, which are particularly important in modern smart grid and renewable energy systems (RESs) in addition to its applications in traditional power electronics and motor drives area. A smart or intelligent grid is basically an advanced electric power grid of tomorrow using state-of-the-art technologies in power electronics, power systems, computers, communications, information, AI and cyber that will improve the system availability, reliability, power quality, energy efficiency, and security with optimum resource utilization and economical electricity to the consumers.
