Innovations in Electrical and Electronic Engineering

This book features selected high-quality papers presented at International Conference on Electrical and Electronics Engineering (ICEEE 2022), jointly organized by University of Malaya and Bharath Institute of Higher Education and Research India during January 8–9, 2022, at NCR New Delhi, India. The book focuses on current development in the fields of electrical and electronics engineering. The book one covers electrical engineering topics–power and energy including renewable energy, power electronics and applications, control, and automation and instrumentation and book two covers the areas of robotics, artificial intelligence and IoT, electronics devices, circuits and systems, wireless and optical communication, RF and microwaves, VLSI, and signal processing. The book is beneficial for readers from both academia and industry.

Dr. Saad Mekhilef is IET Fellow and IEEE Senior Member. He is the associate editor of IEEE Transaction on Power Electronics and Journal of Power Electronics. He is Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering, University of Malaya, since June 1999. He is currently Dean of the Faculty of Engineering and Director of Power Electronics and Renewable Energy Research Laboratory-PEARL. He is the author and co-author of more than 400 publications in international journals and proceedings (253 ISI journal papers) and five books with more than 21000 citations and 73 H-index, and 116 Ph.D. and master students have graduated under his supervision. He has six patents. He frequently invited to give keynote lectures at international conferences. He was listed by Thomson Reuters (Clarivate Analytics) as one of the Highly Cited (Hi Ci) engineering researchers in the world and included in the Thomson Reuters’ The World’s Most Influential Scientific Minds: 2018. He is actively involved in industrial consultancy for major corporations in the power electronics projects. His research interests include power conversion techniques, control of power converters, renewable energy, and energy efficiency.

Prof. Pierluigi Siano received the M.Sc. degree in electronic engineering and the Ph.D. degree in information and electrical engineering from the University of Salerno, Salerno, Italy, in 2001 and 2006, respectively. He received the award as 2019 Highly Cited Researcher by ISI Web of Science Group. According to the study conducted by some Stanford University researchers, it has been included in the ranking of 100 thousand international scientists, belonging to different disciplinary fields and with greater scientific impact. The investigation was conducted by some Stanford University researchers who, starting from the SCOPUS database containing the list of scholars of the world classified by scientific production, developed a composite indicator that takes into account all possible bibliometric parameters (h index, number publications, citations, journal relevance, sector relevance, etc.), in order to generate a wider ranking, focused on the scientific relevance of scientists, in relation to the activity of the last 23 years. He is Professor and Scientific Director of the Smart Grids and Smart Cities Laboratory with the Department of Management & Innovation Systems, University of Salerno. His research activities are centered on demand response, on the integration of distributed energy resources in smart grids and on planning and management of power systems. He has co-authored more than 450 papers including more than 200 international journal papers that received more than 7600 citations with an H-index equal to 44. He has been Chair of the IES TC on Smart Grids. He is Editor for the Power & Energy Society Section of IEEE Access, IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics, IEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronics, Open Journal of the IEEE IES and of IET Renewable Power Generation, Editor of the journal Smart Cities, MDPI Publisher since 2018, Editor of Intelligent Industrial Systems, Springer 2014–2017.
