Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The Special Issue focuses on the latest technologies, research, and challenges related to power electronics, energy systems, and communication technologies. The purpose is to provide opportunities to share the most recent research outcomes in the areas of power electronics, electrical machines and drives, control systems, power generation, transmission and distribution, conventional and renewable energy systems, microgrids and smart grids, and communication systems and technologies.

The Special Issue aims to create a professional network among researchers, academics, professionals, engineers, and industry focused on research areas related to energy infrastructure. Submissions of power, energy, and communication systems research papers presenting the control, modeling, design, integration, and applications of technical track (TT) fields are strongly encouraged.

This Special Issue particularly welcomes selected GPECOM papers and all other papers that address power electronics, energy systems with traditional or renewable power sources, smart grid applications, energy conversion technologies, and other related topics. The topics dedicated to energy include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Control of Power Electronic Converters.
  • DC–DC and DC–AC power conversion.
  • Distributed Energy Resources and Grid Integration.
  • Energy Generation and Storage in Smart Grids.
  • Energy Harvesting.
  • Energy Management and Monitoring Systems.
  • Energy Storage System.
  • Microgrids, Microgrid Applications, and Islanding Operations.
  • Power Electronics for Hybrid and Electric Vehicles.
  • Power Generation, Transmission, and Distribution.
  • Power System Dynamics.
  • Renewable Energy Utilizations.

Therefore, manuscripts within these research areas are most welcome.

In this paper, an event-triggered distributed secondary control, along with an energy management algorithm, was developed to ensure the voltage stability and power management of a DC microgrid containing batteries and renewable energy sources, such as PV systems and wind turbines. The energy management algorithm, employing fuzzy logic control, governs power flow based on the generation status of sources and the charging rate of the battery. Consequently, the control algorithm shields the battery from overcharging and over-discharging situations, simultaneously ensuring energy quality within the microgrid. Sampled-data-based event-triggered control is integrated into the proposed distributed secondary control to alleviate communication burdens between controllers, effectively avoiding Zeno behavior. To demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed control algorithm, several experimental studies were conducted on a real DC microgrid prototype. The results obtained confirmed the controller’s effectiveness. With the proposed control algorithm, autonomous control has been developed to ensure the safe and continuous operation of loads in island-mode microgrids, incorporating PV systems, wind turbines, and batteries, while also minimizing communication overhead. This control system adeptly manages power flow, safeguards the battery against overcharging and over-discharging, and optimizes the efficiency of intermittent energy sources. Full article
