Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues, 

The special issue "Volume II: Challenges and Research Trends of Electrical Engineering and Power Electronics" will be devoted to current challenges in power generation and distribution.

With the growing role of information and communication technologies, electromobility and the struggle for an ever decreasing environmental impact of civilisation, the need to optimise energy generation and distribution processes and to meet challenges such as distributed generation and rapid changes in demand arises. These requirements generate the need for special research in the direction of automation of management of the widely understood power system. The special issue is intended to address these requirements. The main, but not the only, focus will be on applications of advanced signal and data processing (computer simulation, surrogate models, machine learning, artificial intelligence and computer science in general) to meet today's challenges of clean, high quality energy. I especially invite papers related to automatic diagnostics in power generation and conversion, special applications of electricity, optimal energy storage, distributed generation, smart grids, renewable and small sources (including small hydro, biomass, biogas, solar, wind and geothermal power) and their integration into the power system, energy harvesting and power quality.

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Energies is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

This paper aims to develop an integrated Quality–Cost–Environmental (QCE) indicator for the selection of photovoltaic panels (PVps) offered to customers, considering the following criteria: (i) quality satisfaction; (ii) cost-effectiveness; and (iii) environmental impact throughout the life cycle. The proposed QCE indicator was developed within a framework that incorporated an FAHP (Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process), cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA), and life cycle assessment (LCA). The model test confirmed its effectiveness in choosing a PVp which combines environmental friendliness throughout its entire life cycle with satisfactory quality and a reasonable purchase price for customers. The proposed model can be utilized by individuals, businesses, and public entities for the selection of high-quality, cost-efficient, and environmentally friendly PVps—thereby promoting sustainable development.

This article presents research about a hybrid power system dedicated to Internet of Things (IoT) nodes. As an introduction, performance tests of the harvesters, that is, a 40 × 40 mm Peltier cell based on Bi2Te3 and three solar cells, monocrystalline, polycrystalline, and amorphous, are presented. The study established the dependence of the effect of generated power on the load resistance. Thus, it states how the internal resistance of the harvesters changes. Following the above tests, a complete power unit with a single harvester and an LTC3108 conversion circuit, as well as an energy buffer in the form of a 1 mF supercapacitor, were built and tested. The unit with a thermoelectric generator generated power from 14 to 409 µW. The unit with a 65 × 65 mm polycrystalline cell generated power from 150 to 409 µW. Next, a hybrid system was built and tested with both of the aforementioned harvesters, which generated power from 205 to 450 µW at 2000 lx illumination and a temperature difference of 20 °C for the thermoelectric generator claddings.
