Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In today’s rapidly developing automation technology, we need to pay more attention to the health, stability, fault tolerance, and safety of automatic control systems.
Symmetric and asymmetric faults are widely present in automatic control systems.
Three-phase short circuit fault is a type of symmetrical fault, which is a serious fault that must be avoided as much as possible. or its impact must be cut off as soon as possible, such as taking timely fault-tolerant measures.
Asymmetric faults such as single-phase grounding, two-phase short circuit, and two-phase short circuit grounding faults also need to be detected and diagnosed early.
For some complex energy and power systems, it is necessary to regularly monitor the health status of the system, effectively provide health assessments, and ensure the long-term safety of the system.
Therefore, in-depth research on the causes and effects of symmetrical and asymmetrical faults in automatic control systems, exploration of fault detection and diagnosis methods, accurate assessment of the health status of control systems, efficient fault detection and diagnosis, and rapid adoption of fault-tolerant measures have become the problems we must face.
This Special Issue of the journal Symmetry invites contributions illustrating the symmetrical and asymmetric fault phenomena in automatic control systems, exploring detection and diagnosis methods for symmetrical and asymmetrical faults, fault-tolerant strategies and methods, and studying health assessment and management methods for automatic control systems.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Fault diagnosis and fault-tolerant control under symmetrical or asymmetrical faults in sustainable energy systems;
- Fault tolerant control of permanent magnet generator set under symmetrical or asymmetrical faults;
- Fault diagnosis and fault-tolerant control under symmetrical or asymmetrical faults of inverters;
- Fault diagnosis and fault-tolerant control under symmetrical or asymmetrical faults in microgrids;
- Sustainable energy system health evaluation and management;
- Power system health evaluation and management.
I look forward to receiving your contributions.
