Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Intelligent energy management, conversion and control are vital to optimizing the generation, distribution and consumption of electrical energy and the corresponding necessity of using solid and liquid fossil fuels. In the last several years, many research organizations and institutions around the world have made efforts towards the realization of innovative and cost-effective energy conversion and utilization. With the technological improvements in renewable energy sources (RESs), electricity production is transitioning from the traditional centralized systems to distributed energy systems.

The introduction of renewable sources and high-capacity accumulator batteries to electricity power grids, together with traditional energy sources, has led to new requirements related to prediction, coordination, conversion and control of energy flows. Along with the other utilized techniques, artificial intelligence, neural networks and machine learning are highly applicable for more efficient management, forecasting, optimization and control of smart power grids.

This Special Issue aims to collect new research information and contributions on intelligent energy management, conversion, prediction and control, including, but not limited to, smart applications for power grid control, renewable energy sources, power electronic converters, fuel cells and others.

Smart energy management and control can be effectively realized in various ways, including the following:

  • Effective load prediction and management, applying machine learning, neural networks and artificial intelligence;
  • Fuel consumption forecasting and optimization;
  • Efficiency optimization in power flow management;
  • Power electronics energy conversion with loss minimization;
  • Monitoring and timely troubleshooting of intelligent energy systems;
  • Energy and power system management and optimization;
  • Energy and power resiliency and trust.

In recent wind power forecasting studies, deep neural networks have shown powerful performance in estimating future power from wind power data. In this paper, a pseudo-twin neural network model of full multi-layer perceptron is proposed for power forecasting in wind farms. In this model, the input wind power data are divided into physical attribute data and historical power data. These two types of input data are processed separately by the feature extraction module of the pseudo-twin structure to obtain physical attribute features and historical power features. To ensure comprehensive integration and establish a connection between the two types of extracted features, a feature mixing module is introduced to cross-mix the features. After mixing, a set of multi-layer perceptrons is used as a power regression module to forecast wind power. In this paper, simulation research is carried out based on measured data. The proposed model is compared with mainstream models such as CNN, RNN, LSTM, GRU, and hybrid neural network. The results show that the MAE and RMSE of the single-step forecasting of the proposed model are reduced by up to 21.88% and 16.85%, respectively. Additionally, the MAE and RMSE of the 1 h rolling forecasting (six steps ahead) are reduced by up to 31.58% and 40.92%, respectively. Full article
