Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The 4th International Conference on Electrical Engineering and Green Energy (CEEGE), will take place in Munich, Germany from June 10–13, 2021. Energy is a vital commodity that sustains human lives, as well as economic processes. At the same time, energy demand, supply and generation contribute to various environmental challenges, such as climate change, fossil fuel resource depletion and air pollution.

CEEGE 2021 seeks to promote and disseminate knowledge on the various topics and technologies of electrical engineering and green energy. The conference aims to serve researchers, engineers, economists, manufacturers, NGOs, associations and societies to help them keep abreast of new developments in their specialist fields and to apply alternative energy solutions to current practices.

This Special Issue seeks papers in the areas of power and energy; electronics and control; communications and digital signal processing applied in electrical engineering. The Special Issue welcomes both qualitative and quantitative studies, as well as empirical and theoretical contributions.

This paper proposes a new frequency decomposition-based hybrid reactive power forecasting algorithm, EEMD-LSTM-RFR (ELR), which adopts a strategy of frequency decomposition prediction after ensemble empirical mode decomposition and then data reconstruction to improve the prediction ability of reactive power. This decomposition process can compress the high frequency of reactive power and benefits the following separate forecasting. Long short-term memory is proposed for the high-frequency feature of reactive power to deal with the forecasting difficulty caused by strong signal disturbance and randomness. In contrast, random forest regression is applied to the low-frequency part in order to speed up the forecasting. Four classical algorithms and four hybrid algorithms based on different signal decompositions are compared with the proposed algorithm, and the results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms those algorithms. The predicting index RMSE decreases to 0.687, while the fitting degree R2 gradually approaches 1 with a step-by-step superposition of high-frequency signals, indicating that the proposed decomposition-predicting reconstruction strategy is effective.

In the current scenario, power electronic device-based induction heating (IH) technologies are widely employed in domestic cooking, industrial melting and medical applications. These IH applications are designed using different converter topologies, modulation and control techniques. This review article mainly focuses on the modelling of half-bridge series resonant inverter, electrical and thermal model of IH load. This review also analyses the performance of the converter topologies based on the power conversion stages, switching frequency, power rating, power density, control range, modulation techniques, load handling capacity and efficiency. Moreover, this paper provides insight into the future of IH application, with respect to the adaptation of wide band-gap power semiconductor materials, multi-output topologies, variable-frequency control schemes with minimum losses and filters designed to improve source-side power factor. With the identified research gap in the literature, an attempt has also been made to develop a new hybrid modulation technique, to achieve a wide range of power control with high efficiency. A 100 W full-bridge inverter prototype is realised both in simulation and hardware, with various modulation schemes using a PIC16F877A microcontroller. The results are compared with existing techniques and the comparisons reveal that the proposed scheme is highly viable and effective for the rendered applications. Full article
