Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In modern society, artificial intelligence (AI) is being used in various industries and has brought about significant benefits. With this in mind, the Guest Editor is inviting submissions to a Special Issue of Energies on the topic of “Artificial Intelligence for Power Electronics and Energy Systems Applications.” It is crucial to predict how AI can be used to accelerate a more equitable energy transition throughout the industry and how our trust in this technology can be strengthened. In the energy sector, research on how to efficiently manage and utilize energy sources for power electronics-based distributed energy resources (DERs) is required. In addition, it is expected that the role of AI will increase in the construction of large-scale infrastructures, such as the management of the energy demand for transportation and buildings, and the construction of smart cities and smart grids. In particular, the efficient energy use and reduction using AI in autonomous vehicles are expected to make a significant contribution to increasing driving distance.

This Special Issue will address novel AI and machine learning (ML) applications in the industries. Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to:

  • Smart grids;
  • AI for power system applications;
  • AI for intelligent control of power electronics;
  • AI for energy systems applications;
  • AI for distributed energy resources (DERs);
  • AI for energy-related research;
  • AI for connected autonomous vehicles (CAVs);
  • AI for battery management systems (BMS)
  • Maximizing energy efficiency with the use of AI;
  • AI for cybersecurity of energy applications;
  • Adversarial machine learning (ML) for energy applications;
  • Robust ML for energy applications.

Currently, AC motors are a key element of industrial and commercial drive systems. During normal operation, the machines may become damaged, which may pose a threat to the users. Therefore, it is important to develop a fault detection method that allows for the detection of a fault at an early stage. Among the currently used diagnostic systems, applications based on deep neural structures are dynamically developed. Despite many examples of applications of deep learning methods, there are no formal rules for selecting the network structure and parameters of the training process. Such methods would make it possible to shorten the implementation process of deep networks in diagnostic systems of AC machines. The article presents a detailed analysis of the influence of deep convolutional network hyperparameters and training procedures on the precision of the interturn short-circuits detection system. The studies take into account the direct analysis of phase currents through the convolutional network for induction motors and permanent magnet synchronous motors. The research results presented in the article are an extension of the authors’ previous research. Full article

The identification of fault types and their locations is crucial for power system protection/operation when a fault occurs in the lines. In general, this involves a human-in-the-loop analysis to capture the transient voltage and current signals using a common format for transient data exchange for power systems (COMTRADE) file. Then, protection engineers can identify the fault types and the line locations after the incident. This paper proposes intelligent and novel methods of faulty line and location detection based on convolutional neural networks in the power system. The three-phase fault information contained in the COMTRADE file is converted to an image file and extracted adaptively by the proposed CNN, which is trained by a large number of images under various kinds of fault conditions and factors. A 500 kV power system is simulated to generate different types of electromagnetic fault transients. The test results show that the proposed CNN-based analyzer can classify the fault types and locations under various conditions and reduce the fault analysis efforts. Full article
