This paper is a continuation of the previous work, aiming to explore the influence of fillet configurations on flow and heat transfer in a large meridional expansion turbine. The endwall of large meridional expansion turbine stator has a large expansion a... see more
Ventilated façades are among the existing measures to reduce the energy demand in buildings. The combination of this passive heating and cooling strategy with photovoltaics (PV) can drive new buildings towards the current European targets near or e... see more
In this paper, an improved model predictive control (MPC) is proposed for the matrix converter (MC). First, the conventional MPC which adopts the separately discretized prediction models is discussed. It shows that the conventional MPC ignores the input&n... see more
District cooling systems (DCSs) are networks able to distribute thermal energy, usually as chilled water, from a central source to industrial, commercial, and residential consumers, to be used for space cooling/dehumidification. As cooling demand will inc... see more
The power quality of new energy resources has received tremendous attention recently. The control approach for the inverter, an interface between the new energy resources, and the infinite bus system is of vital importance. For the virtual synchronous gen... see more
Various sources of biomass contribute significantly in energy production globally given a series of constraints in its primary production. Green biomass sources (such as perennial grasses), yellow biomass sources (such as crop residues), and woody biomass... see more
The editor of this special issue on “Intelligent Control in Energy Systems” have made an attempt to publish a book containing original technical articles addressing various elements of intelligent control in energy systems. The response to our... see more
This paper proposes a health-aware control approach for drinking water transport networks. This approach is based on an economic model predictive control (MPC) that considers an additional goal with the aim of extending the components and system reliabili... see more
As renewable energy sources connecting to power systems continue to improve and new-type loads, such as electric vehicles, grow rapidly, direct current (DC) microgrids are attracting great attention in distribution networks. In order to satisfy the voltag... see more
In this paper, an improved smart meter data-based three-stage algorithm to calculate the power/energy losses in three-phase networks with the voltage level below 0.4 kV (low voltage—LV) is presented. In the first stage, the input data regarding the ... see more
