This edited volume on “Recent Advances in Renewable Energy” presents a selection of refereed papers presented at the 1st International Conference on Electrical Systems and Automation. The book provides rigorous discussions, the state of the art, and recent developments in the field of renewable energy sources supported by examples and case studies, making it an educational tool for relevant undergraduate and graduate courses. The book will be a valuable reference for beginners, researchers, and professionals interested in renewable energy.
Prof. BENDAOUD Mohamed received the M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering from Cadi Ayyad University, Marrakech, Morocco, in 2012 and 2019, respectively. He is currently an assistant professor at National School of Applied Sciences (ENSA) of Khouribga, Sultan Moulay Slimane University-Morocco.
He is the founder and General Chair of the International Conference on Electrical Systems & Automation. He has served and continues to serve on the technical program committees and as reviewer of numerous international conferences and journals such as Journal of The Franklin Institute, Mechatronic Systems and Control. He is the editor in chief of the new ambitious ''journal of electrical systems & automation'' (JESA). He is the deputy director of the science and technology laboratory for engineers.
His research interests include:
- Modeling and control of Grid Connection for Photovoltaic and Wind Energy.
- Modeling and simulation methodologies for multidisciplinary systems, in particular Bond Graph-based.
- Control of power converters.
Prof. BORUTZKY wolfgang is a retired professor for Modelling and Simulation of Engineering Systems at Bonn-Rhein-Sieg University of Applied Sciences, Germany. He obtained his University Diploma Degree in Mathematics in 1979 and his Doctoral Degree in Mechanical Engineering in 1985, both from the Technical University of Braunschweig, Germany.
He was a visiting professor at universities in the Netherlands, the USA. France, and in Argentina. Since 2008, he holds an honorary position as Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology at the University of Dubrovnik, Croatia.
His main research interests include modelling and simulation methodologies for multidisciplinary systems, in particular Bond Graph-based as well as object oriented modelling; modelling, analysis, control and fault diagnosis of mechatronic systems and hybrid failure prognostic methods; modelling languages; scientific computing, numerical algorithms for continuous system simulation.
Dr Borutzky has published in the proceedings of many peer-reviewed international conferences on Modelling and Simulation and in refereed scientific journals. In 2019, he received the best paper award of the 12th International Conference on Integrated Modelling and Analysis in Applied Control and Automation (IMAACA 2019) in Lisbon, Portugal, which is part of the annual International Multidisciplinary Modelling and Simulation Multiconference (I3M).
He is the author of a 2010 Springer monograph on Bond Graph Methodology and 2015 Springer book on Bond Graph model-based fault diagnosis in hybrid systems. He is also the editor and a co-author of a 2011 Springer compilation text on Bond Graph Modelling of Engineering Systems and 2016 compilation text entitled Bond Graphs for Modelling, Control, and Fault Diagnosis with contributions from experts in various fields from all over the world. His latest book published with Springer is titled Bond Graph Modelling for Control, Fault Diagnosis, and Failure Prognosis. Furthermore, he was the guest editor of two special journal issues on Bond Graph modelling.
Prof. Amine El Fathi received the M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering and Renewable Energies from Cadi Ayyad University, Marrakech, Morocco, in 2012 and 2017, respectively. He is currently an assistant professor at the Faculty of Sciences and Techniques of Al Hoceima-Abdelmalek Essaâdi University-Morocco. He has served and continues to serve on technical program committees of several international conferences. He served also as a reviewer in numerous highly ranked journals such as energy conversion and management.
