Call for Book Chapters Solar Photovoltaic Power Plants: Advanced Control and Optimization Techniques Introduction As a kind of clean power source, photovoltaic systems have gained a prodigious popularity in power industry. There has been a significant progress in the development of solar Photovoltaic (PV) modules. However, photovoltaic systems suffer from three main concerns: low conversion efficiency particularly during high weather variations, high fabrication cost and the nonlinearity between the PV array output power and current. To overcome these problems, different power electronic converters have been introduced by many manufacturers in the market for processing the electric power generated by PV systems. The scientific literature dealing PV applications has been highly populated in the past decade. Various modelling, optimization and control approaches for PV systems have been appeared in hundreds of papers, conference proceedings as well as in many textbooks. However, many authors used classical control techniques, based on linearized models and purely continuous (or discrete) models inadequate. The utilization of more efficient control and optimization strategies would not only enhance the performance of the PV systems, but would also decrease the cost per kilowatt-hour generated. This book is devoted to control and optimization techniques in the broadest sense, covering new theoretical results and the applications of new developed methods to PV systems. The main goal of this book is to encourage both researchers and practitioners to share and exchange their recent advanced studies related to PV systems.
Target Audience This book will attract graduate students, researchers, academicians, and professionals that are interested in exploring and implementing advanced optimization and control techniques related to PV systems.
Recommended Topics For the book chapters, we seek original work that has not been published or considered for publication of topics such as, but not limited to: Type-I and Type-II fuzzy control Fuzzy sliding control Fuzzy coupled hopfield neural network Adaptive fuzzy sliding control Double-integral sliding-mode control Second-order sliding-mode control

Submission Procedure Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit on or January 20, 2018, a chapter proposal of 1,000 to 2,000 words clearly explaining the mission and concerns incl. methodology of his or her proposed chapter. There is no template for the proposals. However, they should clearly describe the topic of the chapter, and list the tentative sections alongside a rough estimate of their lengths. We strongly recommend that all chapter authors (corresponding authors, coauthors, contributing authors) include their affiliation and email address in their manuscript. Their email addresses (also published in the chapters) will be used by Springer to provide authors with a personal MySpringer account where they can download a free copy of the eBook. Authors will be notified on or before February 28, 2018 about the status of their proposals. Full chapters are expected to be submitted by April 30, 2018. Notification of full chapter acceptance is expected on or before June 11, 2018. Manuscript guidelines can be found in the link. Power systems book series follow the Reference Style Basic, Citation Style Numbered and Numbering Style ContentOnly. All submitted chapters will be reviewed on a double-blind review basis.
