Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, we have witnessed the emerging and fast development of heterogeneous cyber-physical microgrids. Benefiting from the latest information technologies, heterogeneous cyber-physical microgrids enable seamless and direct connection between heterogeneous devices such as renewable energy, smart meters, flexible loads, and energy storage systems. However, this inevitably poses some technical and theoretical challenges in architecture design, control operation, and energy management. In order to address these challenges, it is essential for heterogeneous cyber-physical microgrids to develop new methods by taking into account underlying and advanced techniques such as multi-agent systems, artificial intelligence-based control, big data cloud computing and management, and so on. Thus, this Special Issue will focus on state-of-the-art advances and is seeking original contributions on the design and implementation of resilient and cooperative control and optimization algorithms as well as energy management for heterogeneous cyber-physical microgrids.

In order to realize the intelligent management of a power materials warehouse, the Internet of Things based on wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is a promising effective solution. Considering the limited battery capacity of sensor nodes, the optimization of the topology control and the determination of the amount of collected data are critical for prolonging the survival time of WSNs and increasing the satisfaction of the warehouse supplier. Therefore, in this paper, an optimization problem on sensor association and acquisition data satisfaction is proposed, and the subproblem of the sensor association is modeled as the knapsack problem. To cope with it, the block coordinate descent method is used to obtain the suboptimal solution. A sensor association scheme based on the ant colony algorithm (ACO) is proposed, and the upper and lower bounds of this optimization problem are also obtained. After this, a cluster head selection algorithm is given to find the optimal cluster head. Finally, the experimental simulations show that the algorithms proposed in this paper can effectively improve the energy utilization of WSNs to ensure the intelligent management of a power materials warehouse.

This paper proposes a full-order terminal sliding-mode (FOTSM) control scheme for brushless doubly fed induction generator (BDFIG)-based islanded microgrids. To deal with mismatched uncertainties in the BDFIG system, virtual control technique-based full-order sliding-mode control is applied to stabilize the amplitude and frequency of terminal voltage. In the current loops, two full-order terminal sliding-mode controllers are designed to make sure that the current tracking errors can reach their equilibrium points in finite time. It is demonstrated by the comprehensive simulations that the proposed method can significantly improve the tracking accuracy, the rapidness, and the robustness to the uncertainties of the BDFIG control system and can enhance the output voltage quality. Furthermore, an experimental study of the proposed control method for BDFIG-based islanded microgrids would be another important future work. Full article
