The ongoing development of electronic systems—fueled by advances in embedded architectures, intelligent sensing, nonlinear signal processing, and optoelectronic devices—has led to technologies that significantly impact education, energy, and industrial innovation. Modern research in electronics increasingly combines computational intelligence, photonic and optoelectronic components, nonlinear control, and complex dynamic behaviors. These trends are seen in current applications such as smart energy platforms, advanced sensor networks, precision instrumentation, autonomous systems, and high-performance communication hardware.

This collection aims to gather high-quality submissions focused on the design, modeling, implementation, and analysis of advanced electronic and optoelectronic systems. Of particular importance are works that combine theoretical frameworks with experimental validation, address nonlinear or complex dynamics in electronic and photonic circuits, and propose innovative solutions for real-world constraints in industry, infrastructure, and sustainable development.

Grid-forming converters play a pivotal role in modern power systems by providing a flexible and adaptive means of integrating renewable energy sources, enhancing grid stability, and enabling the operation of autonomous microgrids during both normal and disrupted grid conditions. As the energy landscape continues to transition towards increased renewable energy penetration, the ability of converters to act as grid-forming devices becomes crucial. These converters, often based on advanced power electronics technologies, facilitate the seamless integration of distributed energy resources, contribute to grid resilience, and support the transition to more sustainable and decentralized power infrastructures. The development and optimization of grid-forming converter technologies are integral to achieving a reliable, resilient, and efficient electrical grid capable of meeting the challenges of a rapidly evolving energy landscape.
