Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As the Guest Editors, we invite scientists and professionals to submit their theoretical and applied contributions, as well as review articles, to this Special Issue of Fractal and Fractional on the subject of “Fractional Order Systems with Application to Electrical Power Engineering, 3rd Edition”. This Special Issue aims to advance the modeling, design, analysis, and control of fractional order systems for energy and power engineering applications, such as power electronics and electric motor drives, power systems, distributed generation, and multi-energy systems.
Fractional calculus plays a crucial role in accurately describing practical dynamic behaviors in engineering systems using fractional-order models. As a non-standard operator, fractional-order calculus addresses the limitations of classical differential equations, which cannot accurately describe the dynamic behavior of complex systems. It provides an effective tool for describing practical models with memory properties and historical dependence, offering additional degrees of freedom and enhancing design flexibility. The fractal nature of fractional calculus enables the formulation of more accurate mathematical models compared to those based on integer calculus.
Topics of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Development of fractional order modeling of energy systems;
- Fractional order simulation of energy systems with power electronic topologies;
- Fractional order modeling and analysis of hybrid energy storage systems;
- Artificial intelligence application in fractional order energy systems;
- Robust control of fractional order energy systems;
- Energy efficiency in fractional order energy systems;
- Grid integration of fractional order power converters;
- Power quality issues in fractional order energy systems;
- Reliability and resilience issues in fractional order energy systems;
- Intelligent control of fractional order energy systems;
- Stability issues in fractional order energy systems;
- Application of fractional order control strategies;
- Fractional control design of renewable energy systems.
