This edited book is divided into two volumes. This volume is divided into four parts, each devoted to distinct yet interconnected aspects of the subject matter. The first part presents the control of electrical machines and power converters. It covers a comparative study of different control approaches, including Proportional-Integral (PI), Fuzzy Logic, and Neural Fuzzy Logic Controllers for Boost Converters. It also presents an innovative approach for single-phase half-bridge inverters and improved direct torque control of dual three-phase permanent magnet synchronous motors. Part 2 of the book, titled "Control Systems & Automation", thoroughly explores advanced control and automation technologies in electrical systems. These chapters collectively showcase the latest developments and research across various engineering domains. Several control approaches have been discussed such as fuzzy control, sliding mode control, artificial neural networks (ANN), and machine learning. The third part highlights emerging technologies and applications in various fields such as mobile robots, industry 4.0, agriculture, and health. The chapters cover a wide range of topics, including intelligent navigation for autonomous robots, self-driving car perception and pedestrian detection, machine learning for cloud and IoT-based smart agriculture, outdoor navigation systems for micro-tractors, healthcare intelligent systems for melanoma image classification, maximizing the performance of Light Emitting Diode Luminaires. The research explores innovative solutions and technologies in different domains, aiming to improve functionality in various applications. Part 4 of this book is dedicated to "Advanced Wireless Communication and Antenna Technology". This part explores cutting-edge developments and innovations in the realm of wireless communication and antenna design, with a focus on their applications and impact in various fields.

Energy systems are transiting from conventional energy systems to modernized and smart energy systems. This Special Issue covers new advances in the emerging technologies for modern energy systems from both technical and management perspectives. In modern energy systems, an integrated and systematic view of different energy systems, from local energy systems and islands to national and multi-national energy hubs, is important. From the customer perspective, a modern energy system is required to have more intelligent appliances and smart customer services. In addition, customers require the provision of more useful information and control options. Another challenge for the energy systems of the future is the increased penetration of renewable energy sources. Hence, new operation and planning tools are required for hosting renewable energy sources as much as possible.

Editor Biography: Tao Lin received the B.S.E.E., M.E., and PhD degrees from Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan, China, in 1991, 1994, and 1997, respectively. He joined Central China Power Group Co., Wuhan, China, as an R and D Engineer in 1997. From May 2000 to July 2005, he was with Nagasaki University, Japan, University of Bath, U.K., and University of Florida, USA. From 2005, he has been a full professor at the School of Electrical Engineering, Wuhan University, Wuhan, 430072, China. His research fields are power system operation and control, power system relaying, power quality, distributed generation and microgrid. Book Description: This book systematically discusses (a) Distributed Generation (DG), which operates in a single, stand-alone controllable system mode, and (b) the Microgrid (MG) powered by DG, along with the technical concepts, the impact on power systems, control and optimization techniques, and their applications. It includes ten chapters that focus on the following five aspects: 1) An overview of distributed generation is introduced in Chapter One, and the technical concept of the microgrid is introduced in Chapter Eight with detail. 2) As the main element of distributed generation (DG), a smart inverter system for the control of active and reactive power in a grid-tied mode, which is treated as an interface between grid and the RES (Renewable Energy System), is studied concretely in Chapter Two. 3) The influence of distributed generation on power systems, including the impact of DG on the planning and operation of power systems, the impact of DG on power quality, and power system protection are concretely described and analyzed in Chapters Three, Four and Five, respectively. 4) The control and optimization technologies for DG and MG. These techniques include: the Economic Model Predictive Control (EMPC) strategy for the solution of pricing management in community-based microgrids (MGs), which consider economic benefits as the control and optimization objects; the distributed control and optimization techniques for islanded microgrids (MGs) that consider stability as the control and optimization objects; the intelligent load shedding for stability enhancement in an autonomous microgrid; and the recovery (restoration) control after a contingency situation. These are all investigated in Chapters Six, Seven, Eight and Nine, respectively. 5) The applications of renewable energy technology, such as efficient artisanal light fishing technologies that exploit lake light physics and light-fish interactions, are specifically presented in Chapter Ten. Target Audience: This book can be used as a teaching reference for professors and researchers, or as a reference book for university seniors and graduate students to carry out their research work. It can also be used to guide engineering applications, for example, and as a reference book for engineers and on-site personnel in electrical power systems.

This book presents advanced studies on the conversion efficiency, mechanical reliability, and the quality of power related to wind energy systems. The main concern regarding such systems is reconciling the highly intermittent nature of the primary source (wind speed) with the demand for high-quality electrical energy and system stability. This means that wind energy conversion within the standard parameters imposed by the energy market and power industry is unachievable without optimization and control. The book discusses the rapid growth of control and optimization paradigms and applies them to wind energy systems: new controllers, new computational approaches, new applications, new algorithms, and new obstacles.
