Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Concerns about climate change and demands on energy supplies have compelled clean and renewable energy targets around the world. However, the penetration of these sustainable energies into conventional power grids leads to many complexities in terms of optimal and reliable operation, because of their fluctuating nature. Therefore, many renewable energy applications rely on the latest advances in electronic devices, power electronic equipment, and advanced control strategies to help overcome some of these challenges. The renewable energy industry and market have developed rapidly in the past few years, and it is essential to regularly review current research, developments, and innovations in order to be able to map future challenges. Methods and optimizations to improve the integration of clean and renewable resources are welcomed, such as system modeling and design considerations, intelligent control design,  and control strategies, utilizing high-performance electronic devices.

I am writing to invite you to submit your original works to this Special Issue. I am looking forward to receiving your outstanding research.

Perovskite solar cells have been researched for high efficiency only in the last few years. These cells could offer an efficiency increase of about 3% to more than 15%. However, lead-based perovskite materials are very harmful to the environment. So, it is imperative to find lead-free materials and use them in designing solar cells. This research investigates the potential for using a lead-free double-perovskite material, La2NiMnO6, as an absorbing layer in perovskite solar cells to enhance power conversion efficiency (PCE). Given the urgent need for environmentally friendly energy sources, the study addresses the problem of developing alternative materials to replace lead-based perovskite materials. Compared to single-perovskite materials, double perovskites offer several advantages, such as improved stability, higher efficiency, and broader absorption spectra. In this research work, we have simulated and analyzed a double-perovskite La2NiMnO6 as an absorbing material in a variety of electron transport layers (ETLs) and hole transport layers (HTLs) to maximize the capacity for high-efficiency power conversion (PCE). It has been observed that for a perovskite solar cells with La2NiMnO6 absorbing layer, C60 and Cu2O provide good ETLs and HTLs, respectively. Therefore, the achieved power conversion efficiency (PCE) is improved. The study demonstrates that La2NiMnO6, as a lead-free double-perovskite material can serve as an effective absorbing layer in perovskite solar cells. The findings of this study contribute to the growing body of research on developing high-efficiency, eco-friendly perovskite solar cell technologies and have important implications for the advancement of renewable energy production.

In order to solve the problems of wheel locking and loss of vehicle control due to understeering or oversteering during the braking energy-recovery process of the hydraulic regenerative braking system (HRBS), aiming at the characteristics of chassis domain control that can realize coordinated work among various chassis systems, a cooperative control strategy of HRBS based on chassis domain control was proposed. Firstly, a HRBS test bench was built, and the accuracy of the simulation model was verified by comparing it with the test. Next, the proposed cooperative control strategy was designed, which coordinates the wheel anti-lock actuation system (WAAS) to adjust the wheel cylinder pressure to solve the wheel locking problem of HRBS in the process of braking energy recovery and coordinate the vehicle anti-loss control actuation system (VACAS) to generate a yaw compensation moment to solve the vehicle loss of the control problem of HRBS in the process of braking energy recovery by detecting the wheel slip ratio, yaw rate and sideslip angle. Finally, the established control strategy was verified through the co-simulation of Carsim and Matlab software, and the results showed that the control strategy proposed in this paper could not only avoid wheel locking and loss of vehicle control during turning braking on low-adhesion roads, but also improve the energy-recovery efficiency by 29.64% compared with a vehicle that only controls the slip ratio.
