Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Energy systems are one of the most complex physical dynamic systems, which can be substantive by sets of differential and algebraic equations. Their complexity not only emanates from the large number of equations describing the system’s dynamic behavior, but also from the presence of nonlinearities and other unpredictable factors.

Modeling and control of nonlinear dynamic systems is an active field of research. This Special Issue focuses on the latest developments in modeling and control of nonlinear dynamic systems and their application to energy systems. Techniques range from classical modeling and control approaches to intelligent techniques such as neural network, fuzzy logic, neurofuzzy, evolutionary computation, self-organizing systems, machine learning, and multi-agent systems, to name a few. Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:

  • Modeling of nonlinear dynamic energy systems;
  • Energy system identification;
  • Linear control systems of energy systems;
  • State feedback control of energy systems;
  • Nonlinear control design of energy systems;
  • Robust control of energy systems;
  • Adaptive control of energy systems;
  • Sliding-mode control of energy systems;
  • Nonlinear model-based control of energy systems;
  • Intelligent control of energy systems;
  • Reinforcement learning-based control of energy systems;
  • Deep learning-based control of energy systems;
  • Machine learning for energy systems;
  • Stability analysis of energy systems;
  • Optimization of operation of energy systems;
  • Application of artificial intelligence for modeling and control of energy systems;
  • New trends in modeling and control of nonlinear dynamic energy systems.

This paper proposes a particle filter (PF)-based electricity load prediction method to improve the accuracy of the microgrid day-ahead scheduling. While most of the existing prediction methods assume electricity loads follow normal distributions, we consider it is a nonlinear and non-Gaussian process which is closer to the reality. To handle the nonlinear and non-Gaussian characteristics of electricity load profile, the PF-based method is implemented to improve the prediction accuracy. These load predictions are used to provide the microgrid day-ahead scheduling. The impact of load prediction error on the scheduling decision is analyzed based on actual data. Comparison results on a distribution system show that the estimation precision of electricity load based on the PF method is the highest among several conventional intelligent methods such as the Elman neural network (ENN) and support vector machine (SVM). Furthermore, the impact of the different parameter settings are analyzed for the proposed PF based load prediction. The management efficiency of microgrid is significantly improved by using the PF method. Full article
