Electrical Engineering - Call for Papers - Special issue on Design and Control of Hybrid Energy System and Energy Storage for Sustainable Energy Solutions

Due to growing concerns of environmental pollutions, the renewable based hybrid energy systems are the viable options for sustainable energy solutions in near future. The energy storage is also the integral part of such kind of systems. Therefore, the main focus of proposed special issue is to cover the research work carried out by the researchers/academia and practicing engineers working in the area of hybrid electricity generation for providing the sustainable energy solutions. In addition, it also covers the extensive use of custom power electronics devices such as DSTATCOM, UPQC and DVR etc. for making such generation system more reliable and practicable. It is also focused to publish the innovative and noble idea for further fostering the new research and development in this sector. The importance of hybrid power generation and its storage system have increased manifold in recent years across the globe. The power quality issues are still a major concern for researchers in this kind of supply systems and energy storage. The energy storage is required for such systems to make the real power balance across the point of common coupling. The development of various topologies of power converter in both the segments means generation/storage and distribution has made the task profitable for utility as well as consumers. Due to the availability of the custom power devices, the power quality (PQ) issues in hybrid power generation system are a lesser concern for customers. There are some other relevant power quality issues such as load unbalance and power factor correction at the generation side need to be addressed. Therefore, this issue will create awareness among teachers, research students and industry persons about better utilization of hybrid energy system by making it more efficient with the use of power electronics. The performance of power electronics devices is dependent on the effectiveness of control algorithm under dynamical conditions. Therefore, this issue also intended to cover all the traditional as well as advanced control algorithms of power filtering and their control including modeling and simulation work. The adaptive control, model predictive control, artificial intelligence-based control algorithm and optimization techniques application for estimating the error regulator gains are the focus area for estimation of control reference. However, there is no restriction for some innovative applications used in the domain of hybrid power generation and its innovative control. The development and analysis of various components used in such kind of system will also be encouraged.
