Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In recent decades, electrical power systems have been more vulnerable than before, mainly due to grid modernization and the high penetration of renewable energies. Moreover, smart sensors, e.g., Internet of Things-based devices, have been integrated into the network that generate a huge amount of data, which can cause networks to be more prone to cyber-attacks. Therefore, advanced techniques and technologies are required to detect and mitigate attacks, as well as take advantage of these data to increase the reliability, resiliency, sustainability, and efficiency of the entire system.

On the other hand, machine/deep learning techniques have proven their high capability in data processing and classification. Indeed, by using advanced artificial intelligence techniques, we can have real-time processing of the data to predict unusual events in advance. This can help the operators not only in real-time monitoring and managing of the system to prevent any severe blackout, but also to increase the sustainability of the network. These techniques also have many real-time applications in decision making (e.g., artificial intelligence-based reconfiguration and artificial intelligence-based fault detection and protection), forecasting (e.g., weather, wind turbine output power, and solar output power), and monitoring (e.g., artificial intelligence-based voltage monitoring and artificial intelligence-based generator speed limit monitoring) of the large scale electrical power grids and smart grids/cities. However, these techniques need strong justification and investigation before formal adoption to the grids.

The aim of this Special Issue is to investigate the application of advanced machine/deep learning techniques in electrical power management, economic development, and sustainability.

Topics:

  • Application of machine/deep learning in cyber-attack detection and mitigation;
  • Application of AI enabled IoT and blockchain in grid security and reliability;
  • Application of artificial intelligence in energy management;
  • Artificial intelligence-based monitoring and protection;
  • Artificial intelligence-based anomaly detection in electrical power and smart grids/cities;
  • Integration of machine/deep learning and advanced technologies in energy systems;
  • Applications of machine learning in modelling and forecasting.

Mixed and multi-model assembly line sequencing problems are more practical than single-product models. The methods and selection criteria used must keep up with the constantly increasing level of variability, synchronize flows between various—often very energy-intensive production departments—and cope with high dynamics resulting from interrupted supply chains. The requirements for conscious use of Earth’s limited natural resources and the need to limit energy consumption and interference in the environment force the inclusion of additional evaluation criteria focusing on the environmental aspect in optimization models. Effective sustainable solutions take into account productivity, timeliness, flow synchronization, and the reduction of energy consumption. In the paper, the problem of determining the sequence of vehicles for a selected class of multi-version assembly lines, in which the order restrictions were determined taking into account the above criteria, is presented. Original value of the paper is the development of the Grey Wolf Optimizer (GWO) for the mixed-model assembly lines sequencing problem. In the paper, a comparative analysis of the greedy heuristics, Simulated Annealing and GWO for a real case study of a mixed vehicle assembly line is presented. The GWO outperforms other algorithms. Overall research performance of the GWO on the sequencing problem is effective. Full article

Today, there are a variety of technologies for wind-generating systems, characterized by component complexity and control. Controllers are essential for the sustainability of the output voltage and the optimal speed of the generator. To overcome the problems, the system must use controllers that determine the controllers’ ability relative to each other and ultimately the controller that behaves better. This paper investigates the simulation of a PMSG wind turbine with PI, PID, neutral-point-clamped (NPC) and fuzzy controllers to study performance at different wind speeds as input. The wind energy is converted by the wind turbine and given to the PMSG generator. The PMSG output power is transferred to the power network; in this case, we have modeled the power network with a three-phase load. In order to confirm the performance of the proposed method, a PMSG wind turbine is simulated using MATLAB R2017. The simulation results show that the controllers can adjust the DC link voltage, the active power produced by the wind system. Full article
