About this ebook

This edited book proposes a collection of recently undertaken technical work on topics from various aspects of power engineering, energy systems as well as integrated smart technologies and related challenges. The scientific nature of the topics to be discussed in this book ranges from novel concepts to innovative implementations of smart technologies for promoting sustainable economic growth and development. Furthermore, this book substantially contributes to the relevant literature’s advancement and possibly serves as a platform for future research endeavors and publications. In addition, knowledge enrichment and expansion of power engineering and energy systems in the context of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, such as to be portrayed in this book, fundamentally appeal to researchers, power system engineers, energy specialists, data scientists, decision-makers as well as professionals involved in the various sectors that constitute the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

About the author

Kyandoghere Kyamakya, Dr.Ing.: is currently full professor of Transportation Informatics and deputy director of the Institute of Smart Systems Technologies at the University of Klagenfurt in Austria. He is actively conducting research involving modeling, simulation, and test-bed evaluations for a series of concepts applied in various smart technical systems (e.g.: intelligent transportation systems; smart logistics, and supply chains; intelligent vehicles; active assisted living; robotics; smart grids; embedded systems; analogue and mixed-signal circuits; etc.). His research does involve a series of fields such as nonlinear dynamics, systems science, data science, machine learning / deep learning, nonlinear image processing, neurocomputing, and telecommunications systems. He has co-edited more than 10 books, co-edited more than 10 special issues of SCOPUS-indexed journals, and has so far published more than 100 SCOPUS-indexed journal papers and some hundred conference papers. Healso teaches and/or co-supervises some graduate students (Master's and Ph.D. levels) at the University of Kinshasa (Polytechnic Faculty, in DR-Congo), at ULPGL (Université Libre des Pays des Grand Lacs, Goma, DR-Congo), and at University of Johannesburg (South Africa). He is Editor and/or Editorial Board member of some renowned international journals, namely: Sensors (@ MDPI); Mathematical Problems in Engineering (@ Hindawi); Frontiers in Robotics and AI (@ Frontiers).

Pitshou Ntambu Bokoro, Ph.D.: is Associate Professor with the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering Technology, University of Johannesburg, South Africa. He holds Senior Membership with the South African Institute of Electrical Engineers (SAIEE) as well as with the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). He obtained a Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering from the Durban University of Technology, a Master‘s degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Johannesburg, and a Ph.D. degree from the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg. He has published over 100 research papers (which include over 42 journal articles and 65 conference papers) in high-quality journals and peer-reviewed conference proceedings. He authored a couple of book chapters in reputed books published by IGI-Global and IET. He serves as a specialist editor in Energy and Power Systems for the SAIEE Africa Research Journal (ARJ). He has also performed several reviews for various prestigious journals, including IEEE Transactions on Power Delivery, IEEE Access, International Journal of Electrical Power and Energy systems (IJEPES/Elsevier), Advances in Electrical and Electronic Engineering (AEEE), International Transactions on Electrical Energy Systems (ITEES), Materials Today Proceedings (Elsevier), Journal of Engineering Design and Technology (JEDT), Engineering Failure Analysis (Elsevier), Power Engineering Letters, Measurement (Elsevier), Journal of Electrical Engineering and Technology (EETE), Journal of Energy in Southern Africa (JESA), Electric Power Systems Research Journal, Electronics MDPI, Energies MDPI, Microelectronics Reliability, Sustainability MDPI. He has supervised to completion over 18 postgraduate students (which include Master’s and doctoral students). His major research interests include renewable energy systems, power systems, power system reliability, distributed generation, surge arresters, insulation and dielectrics, power quality, condition monitoring, microgrids, internet of things and virtual sensing applications.
