Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
For decades, environmental pollution has threatened the whole of civilization, and energy use generated by fossil fuel is one of the major pollution sources. To mitigate environmental pollution, the identification of renewable energy has received global attention. Currently, multiple renewable energy sources such as biofuel, solar and wind power, and geothermal energy are available. However, it is challenging to implement these renewable energy systems in real-world applications due to heavy implementation costs. Thus, it is crucial to utilize modelling techniques which enable us to predict the performance of a renewable energy system in terms of practicality, energy generation capacity, and monetary benefit. This Special Issue aims to identify multiple techniques of simulation modelling and analysis for renewable energy management.
We are pleased to invite you to submit original research papers and critical review papers to a Special Issue of Energies on the topic “Simulation Modelling and Analysis of a Renewable Energy System”. Any simulation modelling techniques (e.g., discrete event simulation, system dynamics, agent-based simulation, artificial intelligence) for better renewable energy management will be considered in this Special Issue.

Abstract: Sluggish dynamic behaviour, poor voltage regulation, and fluctuations in input voltage and load current are the major concerns in boost converters, which demand closed-loop operation. Nature-inspired optimization algorithms (NIOA) have proved their usefulness in providing better/improved solutions for many engineering problems. Therefore, several works based on them for proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controllers have been reported in the literature for the control of boost converter. Few of the reported works based on these algorithms have also illustrated that the fractional order PID (FO-PID) controller results in improved performance compared to PID. However, FO-PID has associated demerits of complex implementation. In industries, commercial PID (also known as ISA-PID) controllers are prevalent and better to be tuned for DC-DC boost converter. Therefore, in the present work, an attempt has been made to optimally tune the aforementioned controller for DC-DC boost converter using particle swarm optimization based on integral performance criteria. Simulation results show that the proposed controller gives the best performance, characterized by the least settling time, overshoot, IAE and ISE values for input voltage and load current fluctuation compared to PID and fractional order PID. To justify the above claims, results are validated on a hardware setup.
