Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

With the rapid development of the global economy, the demand for energy is growing rapidly. Currently, renewable energy and traditional fossil energy constitute the primary bases of power provision. High energy conversion efficiency plays a key role in power generation systems and can both improve the power generation and decrease the pollutant emissions. More importantly, intelligent control and optimization technologies are efficient ways of improving the performance of power generation systems with low cost and high efficiency.

In this regard, this Special Issue aims to collect review and working articles from around the world which cover and illuminate the state of the art of development of energy power systems, renewable energy systems, intelligent control and optimization technologies, and their recent technological spread. We aim to present discussions of different types of applications for energy power systems based on intelligent control and optimization technologies, with areas such as artificial intelligent control, neural network, intelligent optimization, multi-objective optimization, machine learning, intelligent building, etc., featured heavily

The SI topics outlined above will have a large impact among colleagues from universities and academia in general, as well as scientists, policy makers, practitioners, and students in the fields of power system engineering, energy engineering, automotive engineering, etc.

The microbial fuel cell (MFC) is a renewable energy technology that utilizes the oxidative decomposition processes of anaerobic microorganisms to convert the chemical energy in organic matter, such as wastewater, sediments, or other biomass, into electrical power. This technology is not only applicable to wastewater treatment but can also be used for resource recovery from various organic wastes. The MFC usually requires an external controller that allows it to operate under controlled conditions to obtain a stable output voltage. Therefore, the application of a PID controller to the MFC is proposed in this paper. The design phase for this controller involves the identification of three parameters. Although the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is an advanced optimization algorithm based on swarm intelligence, it suffers from issues such as unreasonable population initialization and slow convergence speed. Therefore, this paper proposes an improved particle swarm algorithm based on the Golden Sine Strategy (GSCPSO). Using Circle chaotic mapping to make the distribution of the initial population more uniform, and then using the Golden Sine Strategy to improve the position update formula, not only improves the convergence speed of the population but also enhances convergence precision. The GSCPSO algorithm is applied to execute the described design process. The results of the simulation show that the designed control method exhibits smaller steady-state error, overshoot, and chattering compared with sliding-mode control (SMC), backstepping control, fuzzy SMC (FSMC), PSO-PID, and CPSO-PID.

Dynamic economic dispatch (DED) plays an important role in the operation and control of power systems. The integration of DED with space and time makes it a complex and challenging problem in optimal decision making. By connecting plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) to the grid (V2G), the fluctuations in the grid can be mitigated, and the benefits of balancing peaks and filling valleys can be realized. However, the complexity of DED has increased with the emergence of the penetration of plug-in electric vehicles. This paper proposes a model that takes into account the day-ahead, hourly-based scheduling of power systems and the impact of PEVs. To solve the model, an improved chaos moth flame optimization algorithm (CMFO) is introduced. This algorithm has a faster convergence rate and better global optimization capabilities due to the incorporation of chaotic mapping. The feasibility of the proposed CMFO is validated through numerical experiments on benchmark functions and various generation units of different sizes. The results demonstrate the superiority of CMFO compared with other commonly used swarm intelligence algorithms. Full article
