Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The development of integrated frameworks for energy management, optimization and control is urgently needed to meet the high penetration levels of renewable energy sources and the development of new generation concepts and grid paradigms. It is expected that a more substantial fraction of the total consumed demand will be produced by renewable resources. Moreover, with the rapidly evolving electric vehicle (EV) technologies and dropping battery costs, more EVs are expected on the roads within the coming few years. Both renewable energy and electric vehicles impose a set of looming challenges to operators. Renewable energy sources are intermittent by nature, adversely affecting the power grid unless they are augmented with energy storage. EVs can collectively represent a significant demand increase during charging, ultimately mandating wide-scale infrastructure upgrade. Infrastructure upgrade can be deferred, and the impact of EVs can be mitigated if they are intelligently managed and their charging/discharging process is coordinated and optimally scheduled. The solution to these challenges requires the development of a set of optimal control strategies and energy management algorithms to reliably operate power grids taking into account renewable energy sources, moving and stationary electric vehicles, and controllable loads.

We cordially invite you to submit your original contributions to this Special Issue, entitled: “Advanced Management and Control Strategies for Electrical Energy Systems.” This is a Special Issue of MDPI’s Energies, an international peer-reviewed open-access journal covered by various databases, including WoS and Scopus. The present Special Issue aims to collect innovative solutions and experimental research supported by appropriate modeling and design, but also state-of-the-art studies, on the following topics:

  • Advanced control solutions for power-electronics dominated systems;
  • Investigating power quality and stability issues in electrical energy systems;
  • Fault-tolerant control in power electronics and drive applications;
  • Energy management and optimization in hybrid energy systems;
  • Hierarchical control techniques for distributed generation systems and microgrids;
  • Renewable energy systems (wind, solar, fuel cells, hybrid renewable energy systems, etc.);
  • Application of artificial intelligence in smart grids;
  • Grid integration of electric vehicles.

In this paper, the response surface methodology (RSM) is used to predict the flashover voltage of a cap and pin 1512L insulator used by SONELGAZ Algerian Power Company (SPE). The pollution and conductivity are studied using a two-level central composite design. MINITAB 19 software is used to perform the regression analysis and analysis of variance (ANOVA) of the data, from which the full quadratic model is developed. The results show that both the pollution and conductivity have a significant effect on the response. The model validation shows the good agreement between the experiment’s obtained results and the predicted results. Therefore, the model could be used to predict the flashover voltage. Full article

This paper proposes an approach for the accurate and efficient parameter identification of lithium-ion battery packs using only drive cycle data obtained from hybrid or electric vehicles. The approach was experimentally validated using data collected from a BMW i8 hybrid vehicle. The dual polarization model was used, and a new open circuit voltage equation was proposed based on a simplification of the combined model, with the aim of reducing the number of parameters to be identified. The parameter identification was performed using NEDC data collected on a rolling road dynamometer; the results showed that the proposed model improved the accuracy of terminal voltage estimation, reducing the peak voltage error from 2.16% using the Nernst model to 1.28%. Furthermore, the robustness of these models in maintaining accuracy when new drive cycles were used was evaluated by comparing WLTC simulations with experimental measurements. The proposed model showed improved robustness, with a reduction in RMS error of more than 50% compared to the Nernst model. These findings are significant because they will improve the accuracy of model-based battery management systems used in electric vehicles, allowing for improved performance prediction without the requirement of recharacterization for different drive cycles or individual cell characterization.

Lithium-ion battery devices are essential for energy storage and supply in distributed energy generation systems. Robust battery management systems (BMSs) must guarantee that batteries work within a safe range and avoid the damage caused by overcharge and overdischarge. The state-of-charge (SoC) of Li-ion batteries is difficult to observe after batteries are manufactured. The hysteresis phenomenon influences the existing battery modeling and SoC estimation accuracy. This research applies a terminal sliding mode observer (TSMO) algorithm based on a hysteresis resistor-capacitor (RC) equivalent circuit model to enable accurate SoC estimation. The proposed method is evaluated using two dynamic battery tests: the dynamic street test (DST) and the federal urban driving schedule (FUDS) test. The simulation results show that the proposed method achieved high estimation accuracy and fast response speed. Additionally, real-time battery information, including battery output voltage and SoC, was acquired and displayed by an automatic monitoring system. The designed system is valuable for all battery application cases. Full article

Microgrids technologies are seen as a cost effective and reliable solution to handle numerous challenges, mainly related to climate change and power demand increase. This is mainly due to their potential for integrating available on-site renewable energy sources and their flexibility and scalability. The particularity of microgrids is related to their capacity to operate in synchronization with the main grid or in islanded mode to secure the power supply of nearby end-users after a grid failure thanks to storage solutions and an intelligent control system. The most critical operating case occurs when a sudden transition from grid-connected (GC) to stand-alone operation (SA) happens. During the transition, the system experiences abrupt changes that can result in a malfunction of the control system and a possible failure of the power system. The transition issue attracted considerable attention from researchers. Indeed, many research works are proposed to address this issue by proposing detection and transition techniques that ensure a smooth transition at the islanding time. Although there are several approaches to dealing with this issue, a categorization of the proposed methods in the literature and their differences is useful to assist engineers and researchers working on this topic. Thus, this study proposes a comprehensive review to summarize these approaches and point out their advantages and limitations. Full article
