Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The transition of traditional power systems to smart grids is an inevitability that is accompanied by many operational, technical, economic, and environmental issues. Contemporary research in the power system sector attempts to address many of these issues. Symmetry is a term that is connected with power system modeling and analysis. For instance, fault analysis is related to the modeling framework of symmetrical components. Another challenging task is the study of symmetric architectures of machine learning models and how novel and sophisticated architectures can be applied in power system problems.

In the context of these scientific and engineering challenges, the main objective of this Special Issue is to publish new models and methodologies for addressing open issues in present power systems and future smart grids by employing the concept of symmetry in the formulation and implementation of the aforementioned models and methodologies.

We welcome submissions of multidisciplinary research and cutting-edge approaches as well as state-of-the-art papers.

Partial discharge (PD) pattern recognition is a critical indicator for evaluating the insulation state of gas-insulated switchgear (GIS). Aiming at the disadvantage of traditional PD pattern recognition methods, such as single feature extraction and low recognition accuracy, a pattern recognition method of PD based on multi-feature information fusion is proposed in this paper. Firstly, a recognition model based on quasi-Hausdorff distance is established according to the statistical characteristics of the phase-resolved partial discharge (PRPD) image, and then a modified convolutional neural network recognition model is established according to the image features of the PRPD image. Finally, Dempster–Shafer (D–S) evidence theory is used to fuse the two pattern recognition results and complement the advantages of the two approaches to improve the accuracy of partial discharge pattern recognition. The experimental results show that the total recognition accuracy rate of this method for four typical PD is more than 94.00%, and the recognition rate is significantly improved compared to support vector machine and normal convolution neural network. Maintaining stability in typical bipedal robots is challenging due to two main reasons. Full article

The step-up power electronic converter, which is easily implemented with two symmetric parallel-boost stages, has recently been proposed in the literature, showing considerable voltage gains with no excessive duty cycle, thus minimizing heat and other adverse effects. Its other advantages are floating-output voltage and increased power density because of the diminution of the capacitors’ voltage rating. In this paper, the Lyapunov-based robust stability of a converter operating in both closed- and open-loop is proved, showing its versatility even during the variation of parameters, which nullifies the symmetry of the converter. Simulation and experimental data allow the corroboration of the analysis. Full article

Load forecasting is a procedure of fundamental importance in power systems operation and planning. Many entities can benefit from accurate load forecasting such as generation companies, systems operators, retailers, prosumers, and others. A variety of models have been proposed so far in the literature. Among them, artificial neural networks are a favorable approach mainly due to their potential for capturing the relationship between load and other parameters. The forecasting performance highly depends on the number and types of inputs. The present paper presents a particle swarm optimization (PSO) two-step method for increasing the performance of short-term load forecasting (STLF). During the first step, PSO is applied to derive the optimal types of inputs for a neural network. Next, PSO is applied again so that the available training data is split into homogeneous clusters. For each cluster, a different neural network is utilized. Experimental results verify the robustness of the proposed approach in a bus load forecasting problem. Also, the proposed algorithm is checked on a load profiling problem where it outperforms the most common algorithms of the load profiling-related literature. During input selection, the weights update is held in asymmetrical duration. The weights of the training phase require more time compared with the test phase. Full article
