Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In the industrialised world, reliable energy is a basic necessity, and the methods of delivering this utility service are starting to change to accommodate the development of renewable electricity. The past ten years have seen work concentrated on the technological and financial sustainability of 100% renewable energy (RE) systems, ignoring the intermediate transition pathways to get there. Studies in this field ignore important issues that still need to be tackled in the transportation, industrial, and agricultural sectors. More effort is needed to find solutions for these particular sectors, such as direct carbon dioxide removal and sector couplings to help with the quick transition to a 100% renewable system. The editors of this Sepcial Issue encourage academics to examine the viability and future economic prospects of energy systems, as well as the social implications and environmental impacts of renewable energy sources.

The scope of this Research Topic includes, but is not limited to, the following themes:

  • Address the issues and challenges of hybrid renewable energy systems (HRES);
  • Techniques needing to be developed for the solar power systems to extract maximum power;
  • Techniques towords floating solar panels to reduce land requirements for solar systems;
  • Focus toword the PV–thermoelectric (PV–TE) system for maximum PV cell output;
  • The role of renewable energy systems in smart grids and microgrids;
  • Techniques to boost battery storage efficiency;
  • Address problems and difficulties with HRES that are used to charge and discharge electric automobiles;
  • Examine the function of PV systems connected to spacecraft;
  • Address different optimization techniques to synchronize renewable energy sources;
  • Design of converter/inverter techniques for hybrid renewable energy systems;
  • Control techniques for smartgrids;
  • Methods for converter/inverters;
  • Application of the Internet of Things (IoT) in mcrogrids.

This paper presents a hierarchical cyber-physical multi-agent model for an AC microgrid (MG). A new distributed finite-time secondary controller is designed in the provision of ancillary services, such as voltage and frequency synchronization and active and reactive power regulation. The control algorithm developed is fully distributed and intended to restore the system voltage and frequency to their nominal value finite time. The existing distributed controllers achieve a consensus in an infinite-time horizon, whereas the proposed control provides a quick convergence to a consensus even in the face of disturbances and restores the voltage and frequency in less than 0.25 s. For accurate active and reactive power regulation, a distributed control algorithm is proposed that corrects the power mismatch among neighboring distributed generator units and eventually for the entire MG network. A Lyapunov analysis is used to establish the upper limit on the convergence time. The proposed control scheme is evaluated and compared with the previously reported asymptotic control technique based on a neighborhood tracking error using time-domain simulations under load variation and communication constraints. The controller withstands a communication link delay up to 2 s with a small deviation and settles down to the nominal values within 0.4 s. Further, the convergence analysis shows that the performance of the proposed algorithm depends exclusively on the controller parameters and communication network connectivity, not on the line and load parameters of the AC MG. The proposed controller enables the plug-and-play capability of the AC MG and effectively reduces the load change-induced disturbance. Full article

This paper provides an overview of power electronics and its applications in various fields, emphasizing power conditioning and minimizing losses for high energy efficiency. It discusses the distinction between unidirectional and bidirectional converters and their applications in power systems. The significance of unidirectional and bidirectional power flow in different scenarios is explored. The importance of battery storage systems (BSSs) for grid stabilization, frequency regulation, and renewable energy integration is highlighted. The paper focuses on flexible active-reactive optimal power flow (A-R-OPF) frameworks in battery storage and power electronic systems, reviewing existing research, identifying gaps, and offering new perspectives. It addresses the challenges and potential of grid-scale energy storage for reliable and cost-effective power systems with high renewable energy penetration. The need for energy curtailment, demand response, and smart grid implementation is discussed. The paper emphasizes comprehensive coordination, new power lines, European collaboration, and smart grid implementation to meet the dynamic needs of Europe’s power grids. Full article
