Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Electrical, electronics, and communications engineering are used in a large variety of application fields.

The main aim of this Special Issue is to bring together researchers active in the innovative developments of devices, schemes, instrumentation, materials and applications of systems exploiting electrical, electronics, and communications engineering.

Works addressing the wide aspects of this technology are sought, including, but not limited to, recent progresses in: novel devices and schemes with relative applications; dedicated instrumentation (hardware, applications and measurement methodologies); sensor, device and material characterization; smart systems.

A special emphasis of this Special Issue will be the current state-of-the-art and emerging trends.

Prospective authors are invited to submit feature review papers on topics related to “Electrical, Electronics and Communications Engineering”.

Thermal power plants use coal as a fuel to create electricity while wasting a significant amount of energy as heat. If the heat and power plants are combined and used in cogeneration systems, it is possible to reuse the waste heat and hence enhance the overall efficiency of the power plant. In order to minimize production costs while taking system constraints into account, it is important to find out the optimal operating point of power and heat for each unit. Combined heat and power production is now widely used to improve thermal efficiency, lower environmental emissions, and reduce power generation costs. In order to determine the best solutions to the combined heat and power economic dispatch problem, several traditional as well as innovative heuristic optimization approaches were employed. This study offers a thorough analysis of the use of heuristic optimization techniques for the solution of the combined heat and power economic dispatch problem. In this proposed work, the most well-known heuristic optimization methods are examined and used for the solution of various generating unit systems, such as 4, 7, 11, 24, 48, 84, and 96, taking into account various constraints. This study analyzes how various evolutionary approaches are performed for various test systems. The heuristic methodologies’ best outcomes for various case studies with restrictions are contrasted.

Abstract

Efficiently modeling thin features using the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method involves a considerable reduction in the spatial mesh size. However, in real-world scenarios, such reductions can lead to unaffordable memory and CPU requirements. In this manuscript, we present two stable and efficient techniques in FDTD to handle narrow apertures on conductive thin panels. One technique employs conformal methods, while the other utilizes subgridding methods. We validate their performance compared to the classical Gilbert-Holland model and present experimental results in reverberation environments to shed light on these models’ actual confidence margins in real electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) scenarios.

The modern energy requirements and the orientation towards Renewable Energy Sources (RES) integration promote the transition of distribution grids from passive, unidirectional, fossil fuel-based into active, bidirectional, environmental-friendly architectures. For this purpose, advanced control algorithms and optimization processes are implemented, the performance of which relies on the Distribution System State Estimation (DSSE). DSSE algorithms provide the Distribution System Operator (DSO) with detailed information regarding the network’s state in order to derive the optimal decisions. However, this task is quite complex as the distribution system has inherent unbalance issues, often faces lack of adequate measurements, etc. The purpose of this paper is to review the DSSE algorithms that a system can incorporate with emphasis on their particular requirements, the mathematical formulation of the problem, the analysis of the existing model-based and data-driven approaches and the recommended solutions regarding observability issues, bad data detection, and meter placement strategies. Furthermore, special attention is paid to DSSE applications, including the use cases where they can be deployed, the approaches that are usually followed, the integrated distributed power supply units, as well as their future trends and challenges, thus highlighting their business-related aspects.
