Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Energy systems are often complex, ambiguous, and nonlinear. These complex energy systems need computation and their processing has led to the use of modelling, control and optimisation techniques. As such, the energy management, energy efficiency, energy services, renewable energy and alternative energy technology management of complex systems are of great importance and are topics of discussion for this Special Issue. The Special Issue aims to be a leading peer-reviewed platform and will survey the state-of-the-art of this field and mathematical modelling, such as deterministic and nondeterministic including machine learning, stochastic; modern control techniques (classical and intelligent) and optimization algorithms (classical and heuristic), which are deployed to achieve complex energy systems. The Special Issue covers research on energy analysis, energy modelling and prediction, integrated energy systems, energy planning, and energy management to improve energy efficiency. Papers are also welcome on other related topics, such as renewable energy, electricity supply and demand, bioenergy, robots, vehicle, energy storage, energy conservation, energy in buildings, industrial and residential within the context of the broader automation control and energy efficiency.

This paper investigates the energy management system (EMS) of a conventional autonomous vehicle, with a view to enhance its powertrain efficiency. The designed EMS includes two neuro-fuzzy (NF) systems to produce the optimal torque of the engine. This control system uses the dynamic road power demand of the autonomous vehicle as an input, and a PID controller to regulate the air mass flow rate into the cylinder by changing the throttle angle. Two NF systems were trained by the Grid Partition (GP) and the Subtractive Clustering (SC) methods. The simulation results show that the proposed EMS can reduce the fuel consumption of the vehicle by 6.69 and 6.35 l/100 km using the SC and the GP, respectively. In addition, the EMS based on NF trained by GP and NF trained by SC can reduce the fuel consumption of the vehicle by 11.8% and 7.08% compared with the case without the controller, respectively.

In the present paper, the effect of temperature on the shape of magnetic hysteresis loops for a magnetocaloric composite core was studied. The composite core, based on La(Fe, Mn, Si)13-H, was set up using three component disks with different Curie temperatures. The magnetic properties of the components and the outcome composite core were determined using a self-developed measurement setup. For the description of hysteresis loops, the phenomenological T(x) model was used. The presented methodology might be useful for the designers of magnetic active regenerators. Full article
