Applications of Advanced Control in Electrical Systems

Dear Colleagues,

Electrical systems refer to a network or configuration of electrical components and devices designed to generate, transmit, distribute, and utilize electrical power. The field of electrical engineering is undergoing a transformative evolution driven by the integration of advanced control strategies. The study of electrical system control is a cornerstone of modern electrical engineering, with profound implications for the reliability, efficiency, and sustainability of power systems. It addresses the complex challenges of managing dynamic and interconnected power networks, integrating renewable energy sources, and ensuring the safe and economical operation of electrical infrastructure. As the global demand for electricity continues to grow and the energy landscape evolves, the importance of advanced control strategies and technologies in shaping the future of electrical systems cannot be overstated.

This Special Issue aims to explore the transformative impact of advanced control technologies on electrical systems. The focus is on showcasing the latest research, innovative methodologies, and practical implementations related to advanced control methods that enhance the reliability, efficiency, robustness, and other performance of electrical systems.

We encourage all researchers working in this area to submit papers to this Special Issue. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Control algorithms for maintaining grid stability;
• Control strategies for addressing the intermittency and variability of renewable energy sources;
• Control techniques for ensuring the stability of power conversion systems;
• Control mechanisms for integrating EVs and energy storage systems into the grid;
• Control methods for improving the transmission efficiency and dynamic response in motor drive systems;
• Innovative control approaches, such as sliding mode control, model predictive control, adaptive control, and intelligent control, and their applications in electrical systems.
