Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Energy has been the primary factor in deciding the development of modern civilization. Indeed, the demand for energy consumption is expected to increase dramatically in the near future. The use of renewable energy resources and nuclear energy are the possible solutions to prevent an energy crisis. Additionally, energy production, storage, transmission, and distribution are crucial for the appropriate management of resources. There is a need to create solutions and techniques for rational energy administration. Reliable models of real systems must be developed to understand and optimize energy expenditure. This Special Issue aims to explore the abovementioned topics. We invite researchers to publish original and high-quality manuscripts on the modeling and simulation of real systems. Furthermore, we encourage authors to send other related works for possible publication. There is the possibility to extend the topics to encompass additional research that will contribute to energy consumption.

Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to:

  • Renewable energy resources (solar, wind, geothermal, biomass, ocean currents, failing water)
  • Energy aware systems development
  • Rational energy expenditure
  • Energy efficient path planning
  • Autonomous systems
  • Energy expenditure predicting and forecasting
  • Alternative energy
  • Energy conversion & storage (batteries, fuel cells, large-scale storage)
  • Fossil fuels economy
  • Data analytics for prediction of energy generation
  • Power system planning and operation modeling
  • Energy security
  • Environmental impacts
  • Energy systems modelling and analysis (energy systems analysis, carbon management, zero-emission energy solutions)
  • Energy markets and consumers
  • Electric and hydrogen-powered vehicles
  • Energy-based optimization
  • Energy-based control

At present, papers concerning energy consumption and forecasting are predominantly dedicated to various known techniques and their combinations. On the other hand, the research on load modeling and forecasting methodologies is quite limited. This paper presents a new approach concerning hourly energy consumption using a multivariate linear regression model. The proposed technique provides a way to accurately model day-to-day energy consumption using just a few selected variables. The number of data points required to describe a whole day’s consumption depends on the demanded precision, which is up to the user. This model is self-configurable and very fast. The applied model shows that four hours are sufficient to describe energy consumption during the remainder of a given day. We show that for about 84% of the data points, the relative error of the model is below 2.5%, and for all the data points the error does not exceed 7.5%. We obtained a mean relative uncertainty of 1.72% in the learning data set, and 1.69% and 1.82% in the two testing data sets, respectively. In addition, we conclude that the model can also detect days with unusual energy consumption. Full article

The number of operations incorporating E-VTOL aircrafts is increasing each year, and the optimization of the energy consumption of such vehicles is a major problem. In this paper, a small-scale ARCHER helicopter’s energy consumption is analyzed, wherein different flight conditions, main rotor revolutions, and flight control system settings are considered. The helicopter dynamic model was developed in the FLIGHTLAB environment and was then validated based on flight test data. The model used for the calculation of energy consumption was developed using the electric and dynamic characteristics of the main rotor, electric motor, and transmission system. The main part of this work concerns the analysis of electric energy consumption during the vehicle’s flight via the use of an automatic flight control system (AFCS) that ensures repeatable flight conditions. The AFCS was designed such that it includes both path and attitude control to provide hover and cruise control modes. The helicopter’s energy consumption was analyzed during different phases of flight, when executing maneuvers, and using different main rotor angular velocities to perform - a given task. The results show that the level of energy consumption significantly depends on the helicopter’s main rotor revolutions, flight speed, and the maneuvers performed. The proposed methodology can be used in prospective energy-efficient mission planning and UAV helicopter design. Full article
