Advances in Control Power Systems and Emerging Technologies

This edited book is an outcome of the selected papers presented at the International Conference on Electrical Systems & Automation, (ICESA 2023) held from 29 to 30 May 2023 at the Faculty of Sciences and Technologies, Al Hoceïma, Morocco. 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 collectivelyshowcase 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.

Pr. Bendaoud Mohamed received the M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering from Cadi Ayyad University, Marrakech, Morocco, in 2012 and 2019, respectively.
