Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Energy demand has been increasing, and environmental concerns associated with energy consumption have emerged worldwide. This has triggered the rapid development of sustainable energy, including its production, management, storage and utilization, with strong impact on the power grid (PG). Indeed, the PG’s interconnection with renewable energy sources, energy storage systems, and high variable loading equipment has led to a complex dynamical system composed of multiple interacting parts, with impacts on PG stability and safe operation. Therefore, the analysis, modelling and control of power systems, equipment, and devices are a challenging and emergent topic, and distinct approaches have been proposed. The use of detailed mathematical models is demanding and often fails to describe the behaviour observed in the dynamical processes. Therefore, new possibilities need to be explored.

This Special Issue (SI) will bring together contributions from researchers dealing with different topics of mathematics, engineering, and applied sciences. Papers presenting original research reflecting recent theoretical advances and applications are expected.

The main goal of this SI is to present a rapid exchange of ideas and techniques in analysis, modelling and control of electrical power and energy storage systems and, thus, to establish an international forum where to present novel developments and achievements.

Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

  • Nonlinear dynamics in power grid, microgrids, energy storage, and renewable energy systems;
  • Analysis, modelling and control for power grid, microgrids, energy storage, and renewable energy systems;
  • Model-based and data-driven modelling techniques for diagnosis, monitoring and control;
  • Emergent, chaotic, adaptive, self-organized, decentralized, and multi-scale complex phenomena in electrical systems;
  • Advanced, robust, and distributed control of electrical systems;
  • Artificial intelligence applied to electrical energy systems and devices;
  • Electrical power generation, management, transmission and distribution;
  • Batteries and storage devices;
  • Health monitoring and life cycle assessment of electrical equipment;
  • Advances in power electronics;
  • Active power filters and efficient methods to reduce harmonic pollution in electrical distribution networks;
  • Electrical energy quality.

Rural farms constitute a vital component of a country’s agricultural landscape, traditionally reliant on energy installations known for their reliability yet notorious for their energy-intensive and inefficient characteristics. While the smart farm concept, integrating renewable energy sources and resource management technologies, has seen widespread adoption in domestic and industrial sectors, rural farms have been slower to embrace these innovations. This study presents a groundbreaking solution, deployed on a rural farm in Portugal, resulting in an impressive 83.24% reduction in energy consumption sourced from the grid. Notably, this achievement translates to a substantial reduction in CO2 emissions, aligning with the growing need for environmentally sustainable farming practices. The technical intricacies of this pioneering solution are comprehensively described and juxtaposed with other scientific case studies, offering valuable insights for replication. This initiative represents a vital first step towards the integration or combination of conventional farming with photovoltaic energy production, exemplified by agrivoltaic systems. In conclusion, this research showcases the potential for rural farms to significantly enhance energy efficiency and financial viability, thereby contributing to a more sustainable and cost-effective agricultural sector. These findings serve as a model for similar endeavors, paving the way for a greener and more economically viable future for rural farming practices. Full article

Currently, the Israeli energy industry faces the challenge of a considerable increase in solar electricity production. As a relatively isolated system, the significant expansion of solar electricity may cause problems with electricity quality. Electrical storage installation can resolve this problem. In Israel’s situation, the optimal solution could be the creation of a channel between the Mediterranean and the Dead Sea. The channel can solve three closely related problems: the increased production of desalinated water for domestic, industrial, and agricultural needs; the prevention of a permanent Dead Sea level decline and its imminent disappearance; the development of hydro-pumping electrical storage stations; and the creation of numerous PV facilities in the Negev area for national electricity generation. However, detailed analysis should be conducted for the estimation of the possible increase in solar electric generation with consideration of a stochastic PV outcome and the potential ability to use the Dead Sea for the brine discharge of electrical hydro-storage plants.

Utilization of active power filters (APFs) is the most efficient method to reduce harmonic pollution in distribution networks. Previous approaches utilized APFs in integrated control schemes based on broad data-gathering systems. Since a broad data-gathering system is not available in most practical distribution networks, previously proposed approaches may not readily be implemented. This paper presents the utilization of stand-alone controlled APFs (SACAPFs) in radial distribution networks. Utilizing APFs with a stand-alone control system decreases implementation costs and complexity by making them autonomous and independent of integrated control systems, which are complicated and expensive in practical applications. In this paper, a single SACAPF is modeled as a dependent current source where its injection current is equal in amplitude but opposite in phase compared to the harmonic content of the current passing through the point of common coupling (reference current). Due to the presence of both linear and nonlinear loads in the distribution network, the reference current changes after injection by SACAPF, so it is necessary to modify the injection current until reaching a constant value in the reference current. This is considered via an iterative procedure in the modeling scheme. Operation of multiple SACAPFs is handled using a backward procedure based on a priority list. Simulation results on an IEEE 18-bus test system show the proper operation of the stand-alone control systems for both single and multiple SACAPF implementation. Furthermore, optimal allocation of the proposed SACAPFs is performed in an IEEE 33-bus test network and a 9-bus test network, and the results are discussed and compared with the allocation of integrated control system APFs.
