Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Power systems are composed of large and complex networks governed by physical laws, in which unexpected and uncontrollable events may occur. This complexity has grown considerably in recent years due to increased renewable energy generation capacity and increased distributed generation. Therefore, the analysis, design and operation of current and future power systems requires an effective approach for solving various problems, such as load flow parameters, location finding, filter design, fault location, accident analysis, system recovery after blackout, islanding detection, economic dispatch, unit commitment, etc. This evolution has been so frenetic that it has become necessary for engineers to continuously update the material in order to successfully face and overcome the new challenges involved in managing a new generation of networks.

This Special Issue on “Power Systems and Renewable Energy Systems: Technologies and Applications” will contain the results of the most advanced research in this field and will particularly focus on the development and practical considerations for power systems and next-generation power electronics techniques. The topics covered in this Special Issue will include, but are not limited to, ‎the following:

  • power systems;
  • energy management systems;
  • HVDC power transmission;
  • optical fiber sensing technology;
  • DC high current detection technology;
  • acoustic emission detection technology;
  • power electronics technologies in power systems.

In recent years, with the rapid increase in renewable energy sources (RESs), a Virtual Power Plant (VPP) concept has been developed to integrate many small-scale RESs, energy storage systems (ESSs), and customers into a unified agent in the electricity market. Optimal coordination among resources within the VPP will overcome their disadvantages and enable them to participate in both energy and balancing markets. This study considers a VPP as an active agent in reserve provision with an upward reserve capacity contract pre-signed in the balancing capacity (BC) market. Based on the BC contract’s requirements and the forecasted data of RESs and demand, a two-stage stochastic optimization model is presented to determine the VPP’s optimal scheduling in the day-ahead (DA) and balancing energy (BE) markets. The probability of reserve activation in the BE market is considered in this model. The ESS’s reserve provision model is proposed so as not to affect its schedule in the DA market. The proposed optimal scheduling model is applied to a test VPP system; then, the effects of the BC contract and the probability of reserve activation on the VPP’s trading schedule are analyzed. The results show that the proposed model has practical significance. Full article

Over the last decade, flexible alternating current transmission systems (FACTS) have been crucial in ensuring optimal power distribution within modern power systems. A vital component of FACTS devices is the distribution static compensator (DSTATCOM), which is essential for maintaining a reliable power supply. It is commonly used for reactive power compensation, voltage regulation, and harmonic reduction. Determining the appropriate size and placement of DSTATCOMs is vital to ensuring their efficiency. This study introduces the improved gray wolf optimizer (I-GWO), a refined version of the classical gray wolf optimization (GWO) method. The I-GWO incorporates a dimension learning-based hunting (DLH) strategy to preserve population diversity, balance exploration and exploitation, and prevent the premature convergence of classical GWO. In this research, the I-GWO was applied to determine the optimum allocation and sizing of the DSTATCOMs, considering system constraints, including those presented by the intermittent and stochastic nature of the load and renewable energy resources, specifically wind and solar energy. The suggested approach was successfully tested on 33-, 69-, and 85-bus distribution systems and then compared with existing studies. The results demonstrated the I-GWO-based approach’s superiority in terms of reducing power losses, improving voltage profiles, and enhancing voltage stability. Full article

As a common interface circuit for renewable energy integrated into the power grid, the inverter is prone to work under a three-phase unbalanced weak grid. In this paper, the instability of grid-connected inverters under the unbalanced grid condition is investigated. First, a dual second-order generalized integrator phase-locked loop (DSOGI-PLL)-based inverter under balanced and unbalanced conditions is modeled. A fourth-order impedance model is established to describe its impedance characteristics under the unbalanced grid condition. To analyze this multi-input multi-output system, a simplified stability analysis method based on the generalized Nyquist stability criterion and matrix theory is proposed. Then, the influences of circuit and control parameters on the stability of the grid-connected inverter system under the unbalanced grid condition are investigated. Finally, the accuracy of the derived frequency-coupled impedance model is verified via simulations, and the effectiveness of the proposed simplified stability analysis method on the system stability analysis is verified via both simulations and hardware experiments.

Classification tasks are pivotal across diverse applications, yet the burgeoning amount of data, coupled with complicating factors such as noise, exacerbates the challenge of classifying complex data. For algorithms that require a large amount of data, the annotation work for datasets is also exceptionally complex and tedious. Drawing upon existing research, this paper first introduces a novel semi-supervised category dictionary model based on transfer learning (SSDT). This model is designed to construct a more representative category dictionary and to delineate the associations of information across different domains, utilizing the lens of conditional probability distribution. This approach is particularly apt for semi-supervised transfer learning scenarios. Subsequently, the proposed method is applied to the domain of bearing fault diagnosis. This model is suitable for transfer scenarios; moreover, its semi-supervised characteristic eliminates the need for labeling the entire input dataset, significantly reducing manual workload. Experimental results attest to the model’s practical utility. When benchmarked against other 6 models, the SSDT model demonstrates enhanced generalization performance. Full article

An islanding operation of distributed generations (DGs) in emergencies due to a fault in distribution systems can be a means of power supply for important loads in outage areas by facilitating the self-sufficient capability of DGs forming microgrids. This paper presents an optimization-based intentional islanding scheme to derive a near-optimal service restoration (SR) plan. The anti-parallel operation of DGs is considered a new constraint that avoids more than two DGs in an island thereby, enabling simpler control and operation of the distribution system in an emergency. Each island is created by an island partitioning scheme based on the tree representation of the network and fast searching scheme for the tree structure considering load importance, and a genetic algorithm (GA) is utilized to explore possible SR solutions. Case studies on IEEE 69-bus distribution system according to various fault locations are conducted, and the simulation results show that the proposed scheme can restore more loads with higher priority in outage areas by the intentional islanding of DGs. Furthermore, the time for deriving the optimal solution can be reduced since the evaluations for infeasible solutions are not performed. Full article
