Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Low-energy residential buildings face various challenges due to a rapidly increasing share of renewable energy resources and an increasing interplay with other energy sectors. Distributed energy resources (DERs), such as wind, solar, energy storage, combined heat and power plants, electric vehicles, and smart loads, have become prevalent. Moreover, we are moving towards an integrated energy system (IES) on an unprecedented scale. An IES not only allows the full utilization of renewable energy resources, but also achieves a higher energy efficiency. The integration of variable sources and the efficient and synergistic utilization of these energies are likely to be a key focus in future developments. Despite the low probability of occurrence, the high impact of extreme weather events and natural disasters also increases the need for resilience studies regarding the future distribution grid.

In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:

  • Modelling and analysis methods;
  • Advanced technologies for distributed energy resources and microgrid;
  • Active distribution network;
  • Impact of DER interconnection on the distribution network;
  • Applications of advanced techniques to control and optimize IESs;
  • Hybrid (with thermal) distribution systems;
  • Coordinated control for smart inverters and IESs;
  • Enhancing resilience through coordinated multiple energy resources.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

In order to improve the efficiency of UAVs in transmission tower inspections, the UAV transmission tower inspection energy consumption model is proposed for the existing research in which there is no accurate energy consumption calculation method in transmission tower inspection, and the optimal energy consumption path for UAV transmission tower inspection is designed by combining with simulated annealing algorithm. Firstly, a real experimental environment is built for experimental data collection and analysis, and the energy consumption model for transmission tower inspection is constructed and the influencing factors are discussed and analyzed, and the energy consumption coefficients under different situations are obtained. Second, according to the constructed transmission tower inspection energy consumption model combined with the path planning algorithm, experimental simulation is conducted to plan the optimal energy consumption inspection path, and finally, the above results are verified by carrying out actual measurement experiments. The simulation results show that under different constant loads, the optimal energy consumption path in this paper can save 36.53% and 27.32% compared with the conventional path; compared with the shortest path, it can save 11.16% and 0.45%. The optimal energy consumption path of UAV transmission tower inspection based on the simulated annealing algorithm proposed in this paper effectively improves the efficiency of UAV transmission tower inspection.

Preservation of potatoes in a controlled cool environment (i.e., in cold storage) consumes a substantial amount of energy. The specific energy consumption in Indian cold storage has been estimated to be between 9 and 26 kWh/ton/year. In this article, the potential for minimizing the energy consumption in the refrigeration process of cold storage through passive cooling concepts (i.e., roof evaporative cooling and the earth integration of the storage building) was explored. These passive concepts of cooling have shown significant potential for lowering the cooling loads and the energy consumption in different types of buildings. Therefore, a feasibility analysis for a potato storage building, considering the effect of the passive cooling concepts, was conducted for three different climatic conditions (i.e., hot–dry, warm–humid, and composite) in India. The energy saving potentials in the cold storage were assessed by quantifying the thermal energy exchange between the indoor and outdoor environments using the modified admittance method. The effect of heat transfer through the building envelope on total energy consumption was estimated for the building having various sunken volumes (buried depths) without and with roof evaporative cooling. Further, the economic feasibility of adopting passive concepts was assessed in terms of life cycle saving compared to the base case. Results indicate that earth coupling without and with evaporative cooling has substantial potential to reduce the cooling load and can produce significant savings. Full article
