Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
One present-day challenge is sustaining growing energy consumption. Efficient power production technologies are a potential solution to this issue. These require using the most recent achievements from various science branches such as materials, physics, chemistry, or electronics, often with large-scale research infrastructures. Such results are later combined directly with the industrial sector, including energy projects, ensuring the technological progress of energy production.
Electronic systems are present almost everywhere, performing various tasks, e.g., control, diagnostics, analysis, or protection. Due to modern high-density integrated circuits, it is possible to design devices that perform multiple simultaneous tasks, offer many processing channels, or work as numerical accelerators. Most recent FPGAs and GPUs provide the very high performance required for advanced research and applications.
These systems are commonly used in modern large-scale experimental infrastructures focused on fundamental research such as high-energy physics. These include fusion experiments, considered to be a new potential efficient energy source. However, in parallel, they are challenging, as they require constructing complex measurement or control systems. Fission research requires modern equipment and high-performance computing systems for process improvements or other research.
This Special Issue will present the most recent achievements in complex electronic systems related to concepts, modelling, design, installations, control, monitoring, and diagnostics for advanced energy projects and large-scale research infrastructures.
Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to, the following:
- System concepts and prototypes for application in HEP experiments and energy technologies;
- System’s design methodology;
- Numerical complex modelling and high-performance analysis;
- Control-protection systems used in power-electronic systems or HEP experiments;
- Novel diagnostic systems for HEP and energy research;
- Real-time protection and computation systems;
- Modern complex industrial systems;
- High-tech systems applicable in the field of energy and industrial sectors.
