Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

New emerging optimization, operation, and control technology of electric energy systems is being rapidly developed to exploit the full potential of renewable energy sources and to meet the needs of green energy systems and a cost-effective energy supply. This Special Issue intends to develop and report new ideas and advances in the fields of optimization, operation, and control strategies of energy systems including integrated multi-energy systems and electric energy systems from design, with a focus ranging from theory to their practical use. The main topics relevant to optimization in energy system include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Modeling, optimization, monitoring, optimal operation, and control of energy systems including integrated multi-energy systems and electric energy systems.  
  • A coordinated control strategy, monitoring and management of energy systems.
  • Resilience, stability, and reliability of energy systems.
  • Application of artificial intelligence machine learning and deep learning in energy systems.
  • Data science, big data, digital signal process applications and algorithms in the optimization, monitoring and control of energy systems.
  • Advanced economic optimal scheduling of energy systems.
  • Modelling, optimization, and control of regional energy systems with high penetration of electric vehicles and hydrogen subsystem.
  • Advanced modelling, optimization, and control of power to X technology.
  • Optimization and management for an energy market equilibrium.

This paper shows the implementation of the Moth–Flame Optimization algorithm in a Cascade-H multilevel inverter with five and seven levels to determine the optimal switching sequence of the inverter’s semiconductor devices. The algorithm was coded in Matlab software, and the obtained switching sequences were implemented in a Cascade-H multilevel inverter laboratory prototype, where the output voltage waveform was obtained using a digital oscilloscope. The experimental Total Harmonic Distortion was obtained using a power quality analyzer. The experimental results show the improvement of the Total Harmonic Distortion in the voltage output. These results were compared with other papers in the literature with different metaheuristic methods concerning the same modulation. These findings demonstrate the feasibility of employing the Moth–Flame Optimization Algorithm to significantly reduce the Total Harmonic Distortion, obtaining a lower value than most analyzed papers.
