Mathematical optimization techniques are among the most successful tools for controlling technical systems optimally with feasibility guarantees. Yet, they are often centralized—all data has to be collected in one central and computationally powerful entity. Methods from distributed optimization overcome this limitation. Classical approaches, however, are often not applicable due to non-convexities. This work develops one of the first frameworks for distributed non-convex optimization.

Climate change mitigation and adaptation are key challenges of the 21st century. These challenges include global energy consumption and dependence on fossil fuels, which are addressed in global energy policies. About two-thirds of global greenhouse gas emissions are linked to the burning of fossil fuels used for heating, electricity, transport, and industry. Therefore, the world is looking for the most reliable, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly energy sources coupled with energy saving, which is a clean and low-cost solution to the growing demand for energy. As a clear example of this, cities are integrating renewable energies into their smart city plans. This book aims to advance the contribution of the use of renewable energies and energy saving in order to achieve a more sustainable world.

The extended papers in this Special Issue cover the topics of smart energy, nuclear systems, and micro energy grids. In “Electrical Loads and Power Systems for the DEMO Nuclear Fusion Project” and “Energy Analysis for the Connection of the Nuclear Reactor DEMO to the European Electrical Grid”, the authors introduce a European DEMO project. In “Comparison and Design of Resonant Network Considering the Characteristics of a Plasma Generator” the authors present a theoretical analysis and experimental study on the resonant network of the power conditioning system (PCS). In “Techno-Economic Evaluation of Interconnected Nuclear-Renewable Micro Hybrid Energy Systems with Combined Heat and Power”, the authors conducted a sensitivity analysis to identify the impact of the different variables on the investigated systems. In “Fault Current Tracing and Identification via Machine Learning Considering Distributed Energy Resources in Distribution Networks”, the authors propose a current tracing method to model the single distribution feeder as several independent parallel connected virtual lines, with the result of tracing the detailed contribution of different current sources to the power line current. From the five extended papers, we observe that the SEGE is actively engaged in smart grid and green energy techniques. We hope that the readers enjoy this Special Issue.
