Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Electrical energy presents the keystone of all kinds of development all over the globe, and we cannot imagine our society and life without this kind of energy. Indeed, electrical energy can reach everywhere thanks to the existing power systems, which are spread all over the globe to ensure the transportation of such power under the required quality and in a reliable manner. On the other hand, it is well known that there are many energy sources of different nature, which can be converted to the useful electrical energy to ensure the balance of the important growth of the consumption of such energy. Therefore, such a critical situation of growing demand of electrical energy has pushed researchers to find solutions  based on renewable energy sources for the coming years to overcome the eventual deficiencies in electrical energy production and conversion.

This Special Issue aims to collect and disseminate the most recent research in the area of electrical energy production and conversion from renewable energy sources connected to the main power system for the enhancement of its performances to meet the requirements of stable, reliable and efficient electrical power distribution and transportation.

Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • All aspects of electrical energy production from different renewable energy sources;
  • Renewable energy sources and grid connected topologies;
  • The power quality issue in power systems based on the use of renewable energy sources;
  • Electrical energy conversion tools and techniques;
  • Optimisation of renewable energy sources connected to the power system;
  • Diagnostics of renewable energy sources connected to the power system;
  • Control techniques of renewable energy plants connected to the power system;
  • FACTs application in power systems based on renewable energy sources;
  • Advanced modelling approaches of renewable energy sources connected to the power system;
  • Advanced topologies of converters used for renewable energy sources connection to the power system.

The Unified Power Quality Conditioner (UPQC) is one of the Custom Power devices (CP), and it mitigates both load current and supply voltage problems (voltage swells, sags, harmonics, etc.) simultaneously. By using CP, we are getting more familiar with renewable energy’s high penetration on the electrical grid because of its intermittent nature, which causes power flection. We are also using powered electronic devices, and non-linear loads produce harmonics that affect the voltage and current waveform. In this paper, a UPQC will be used with a sensitive load that is connected to a grid (grid–wind turbine) power system. The UPQC will operate under different disturbances such as phase-to-ground fault, non-linear load on the grid side, and non-linear load in parallel with the sensitive load, using pulse-width modulation and hysteresis as switching techniques. Simulation results using MATLAB/Simulink are used to compare the two pulsing-generating techniques and show that electrical power is continuously fed to the load in all disturbances with total harmonic distortion (THD) less than 5% for voltage and 4.5% for current.
