Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Climate change is an important issue that the whole world must jointly deal with. Saving energy is one of effective means to reduce carbon emissions. Among saving energy, electrification is the most important approach and has become a trend for energy usage. Residential, commercial, industrial, transportation and utility systems have countless applications of electronics devices and electrical equipment. Power electronics play an important role in these systems since these systems need to convert power among various types of energy source and load.

This Special Issue “Advances in Energy-Saving Technology and Monitoring” aims to curate works presenting novel advances in the development and application of power electronics technology in the reduction of power loss and energy consumption and increase conversion efficiency. Topics include, but are not limited to:

  • New power converter circuits (or systems) to improve the efficiency of applications;
  • Novel power management methods (control, optimization, or prediction) for increasing the overall operation efficiency of the system;
  • New power devices (including power semiconductors, magnetic elements, motors, sensors, and thermal devices) and control devices (MCUs, ICs) for power converter systems that can improve efficiency;
  • New analysis and development tools (hardware or software) for thew design and implementation of power converter systems to evaluate (or increase) efficiency.

The master oscillator power amplifier (MOPA) pulsed laser, one of the popular topologies for high-power fiber laser systems, is widely applied in industrial machining laser systems. In MOPA, the low-power pulsed laser, stimulated from a seed laser diode, is amplified by the high- power optical energy from pump laser diodes via the gain fiber. Generally, the high-power pump laser diodes are driven by lossy linear current drivers. The switched mode current drivers boost the driver efficiency but suffer from pulse energy consistency due to the current switching ripple. In this paper, a laser driver system that varies the switching frequency of current source to synchronize with pulsed laser repetition rate is analyzed and implemented. Experimental results are demonstrated using a 20 W pulsed fiber laser system. Full article

Based on Grey System Theory and the inverted normal quality gain-loss function, the inverted normal grey quality gain-loss function model is put forward. According to the constant compensation and hyperbolic tangent compensation, the grey quality gain-loss function model with nominal-type characteristics, larger-the-better characteristics and smaller-the-better characteristics is built. A multivariate grey quality gain-loss function model with multiple sub quality indexes and the concept of grey quality gain-loss cost are proposed. Case analysis is applied to the quality control of dam concrete construction, which verifies the applicability of the model and provides an important reference for research on the new theory of dam concrete construction quality control.

Pre-dispatch is an important way for distribution networks to cope with typhoon weather, enhance resilience and reduce economic losses. In order to accurately describe the faults and consequences of components’ failure in the distribution network, this paper establishes a pre-dispatch model to cope with typhoon weather based on line failures consequence analysis. First, Monte Carlo simulation is used to sample the typical fault scenarios of vulnerable lines. According to the location of switchgear, the distribution network is partitioned and a block breaker correlation matrix is established. Combined with the line fault status, a fault consequence model of distribution lines related to the pre-dispatching strategy is established. Then, the objective function is given to minimize the sum of the cost of the pre-dispatch operation and the power outage, and then establish a pre-dispatch model for the distribution network. In order to reduce the computational complexity, PH (Progressive Hedging) algorithm is used to solve the model. Finally, the IEEE-69 test system is used to analyze the effectiveness of the method. The results show that the proposed dispatching model can effectively avoid potential risks, reduce system economic losses and improve the resilience of power grids. Full article
