Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

There is a pressing need for energy efficient networks and the transition of existing ones into sustainable sources and technologies in China. This Special Issue will cover wide spectra of contributions that discuss the role of sustainable technologies with a particular focus on the smart energy engineering field. Digitalization enabled various crucial and valuable technological solutions in the energy field. The sustainability aspect must be investigated in order to understand smart technologies' long-term implications for the environment.

The latest research developments in sustainable energy, smart energy engineering, energy efficiency, energy storage technologies, sustainable energy services, smart energy technologies, intelligent energy management, as well as energy economy and sustainable development are addressed. 

Prof. Dr. Shengqing Li
Guest Editor

A fault protection method is proposed for flexible direct-current (DC) power systems based on the cosine similarity of currents in current-limiting reactors. The typical characteristics of external and internal faults in a flexible DC power system were analyzed. The principles of cosine similarity and the fault current characteristics of current-limiting reactors were used to distinguish between internal and external faults. The ratio of the average positive and negative voltages of the current-limiting reactor was then used to distinguish the fault types and fault line. Finally, a simulation model of a circular flexible DC power system was constructed using MATLAB/Simulink software (2018b). The simulation results show that the proposed protection scheme can quickly and accurately identify the location and type of faults, and has a strong ability to withstand fault resistance and is less affected by distributed capacitance, noise, and communication delay.
