Topical Collection Information
Although various distributed renewable generation (DG) systems such as solar and wind have been used for many years, it is still a challenge to manage them in an optimal way which benefits both consumers and the grid. This is because of uncertainties in generated power by some renewable resources, energy demand by consumers, utility grid performance and energy tariffs. Therefore, a wide range of research related to the energy management and control methods are welcome for this special issue. This includes but is not limited to the demand–side management techniques, off-line optimization methods, real-time rule-based methods, intelligent methods based on fuzzy logic, artificial neural networks, genetic algorithms and particle swarm optimization, programming methods such as dynamic programming, linear programing, mixed integer linear programing, and quadratic programing.
Keywords
energy management; power flow control; optimization; intelligent control; dynamic programming; linear programming.

Abstract
Minas Gerais is the leading milk-producing state in Brazil, and many dairy activities are supplied with electricity by the cable aerial network of the electrical energy state company. Given that the Brazilian energy matrix relies primarily on hydroelectric power, studies on the potential [...] |

Abstract
The present need for an energy transition in the wake of a global climate catastrophe led to the “EU green deal” which requires a transition of the energy system in all countries. This study aimis survey aims to identify strategies within such an energy transition based on global trend analyses and [...] |

Abstract
Inadequate electricity supply is a global challenge that needs solutions. This situation has compelled the purchasing of fossil fuel-generating units for use in residential, commercial, and industrial sectors to generate electricity. However, using fossil fuel generating units cause greenhouse gas e [...] |

Abstract
The economic impact of energy loss stemming from end-user electricity consumption is a significant concern, with historical trends revealing escalating costs. Effectively managing both peak and off-peak demands remains a formidable challenge due to the unpredictable nature of consumer behaviors, lea [...] |

Abstract
The article aims at optimizing six-phase induction generator-based renewable energy systems (6-phase IGs or dual star induction generators) through a novel nonlinear optimal control method. Six-phase induction generators appear to be advantageous compared to three-phase synchronous or asynchronous p [...] |

Abstract
The special design of linear induction machines (LIMs) leads to adverse effects caused by the longitudinal and end effects. These effects make the thrust control of the LIMs most attractive because its value decreases sharply with the speed increase. Thus, finite-state model predictive control (FS-M [...] |
Abstract
In recent years, the oil and gas sector has been moving towards green production methods to achieve net-zero emission goals. Governments and corporations have started large-scale initiatives to deploy advanced technologies to reduce carbon footprints and prevent global warming. Herein, we have explo [...] |

Abstract
This paper examines the economic case for the UK to proceed urgently with the installation of thermal insulation and heat pumps in most UK buildings, in the context of the legal requirement to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. A recent study by the same authors assumed that such [...] |

Abstract
This paper sets out a quantified scenario for the UK to reach net zero carbon emissions. Wind and solar are the main energy sources and their intermittency is accommodated through hydrogen electrolysis, biogas from anaerobic digesters, and their combination into biomethane. Hydrogen and [...] |
Abstract
The most commonly used process for fabricating perovskite solar cells is based on wet chemistry, which greatly limits the choice of materials suitable for optimizing the performance of the device. We developed a new approach for the fabrication of perovskite-based solar cells. In the smart stacking [...] |
