CALL FOR PAPERS “Smart Devices for Renewable Energy
Systems”The Theme: Power system operators are now forced to deal with an increasing number of problems, largely related to increased number of loads, new environmental policies and economic pressures of the market. Large scale adoption of distributed generation (DG), also of renewable type, potentially able to ease the transmission system and partly to resolve these problems, is slowed by the technical condition of the distribution system, that currently is not able to accommodate a high penetration of DG.In order to assure the renewable sources integration the development of new technologies for energy conversion from these sources are necessary. In this regard, energy saving may be viewed as another form of renewable energy. Thus, new energy saving methods (typically on the load side) and methods to increase renewable generators productivity have the potential to eventually reduce the cost of renewable energy and further promote the proliferation of renewable generators.Power electronic energy conversion systems (ECS) are the core enabling technologies for the growth of large-scale renewable distributed energy systems. Because of the new functions imposed by renewable sources and utility, ECS and other electronic equipments for renewable energy systems require a deep redesign.Innovative, smart devices are required to get enhancements in both the controllability and the overall performance of renewable energy production and distribution.Smart devices, endowed with advanced topologies and control features, advanced diagnostics and prognostics and smart reconfiguration capability are required to enhance the performance of future renewable energy systems, optimizing both generator and load side, raising availability and reliability, thus reducing repair and maintenance needs.These devices should be able to extract the maximum power, guarantee the best efficiency of the generating system or increasing its lifetime, without penalizing the quality of the output power. They should also allow active filtering, phase balancing, harmonic cancellation, and dynamic reactive power control, critical to grid voltage stability. Smart devices will enable renewable energy resources to ride through grid disturbances rather than trip off, to switch from grid-connected to stand-alone operation and viceversa in real-time under utility control and run in microgrid mode by means of real-time load control, balancing generation and energy storage systems.
Topics of interest of this Special Section include, but are not limited to:
- Power converter topologies for intelligent renewable sources management - Control methods for smart devices and intelligent power converters in distributed generation- Energy management devices to support renewable distributed generation integration in active networks- Adaptive control systems to maximize the extractable power from variable speed wind turbines and photovoltaic systems- Control systems to improve fault ride-through capability of wind energy conversion system - Control methods for Distribution Flexible AC Transmission System - Protection systems for distributed generation with renewable energy systems- Smart devices for demand side management and energy saving.
