Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The global transition toward low-carbon energy has led to a rapid increase in the penetration of renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar power, into power systems. These resources are typically interfaced to the grid through power electronic converters, which fundamentally alter the dynamic characteristics and operational behavior of modern power systems. As the proportion of power electronic-interfaced generation continues to grow, traditional assumptions regarding system inertia, damping, and stability no longer hold, posing significant challenges for secure and efficient power system operation. This Special Issue aims to provide a platform for researchers and practitioners to present the latest advances in the modeling, analysis, control, and optimization of power systems with high shares of power electronics. Topics of interest include both theoretical developments and practical implementations, covering small-signal and large-signal stability, frequency and voltage control, the coordinated operation of diverse converter-based resources, and grid-forming control strategies.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

  1. Modeling and stability analysis of power electronic-dominated power systems;
  2. Grid-forming and grid-following control strategies and their impact on system dynamics;
  3. Multi-timescale stability: transient, small-signal, and long-term stability;
  4. Coordinated control and optimization of inverter-based resources (IBRs);
  5. Interaction between power electronic devices and synchronous machines;
  6. Advanced frequency and voltage control in low-inertia systems;
  7. Stability assessment and control of hybrid AC/DC systems with VSC-HVDC;
  8. Data-driven and AI-based approaches for stability prediction and operation optimization;
  9. Cyber–physical security and resilience of power electronic-dominated power systems;
  10. Stability analysis and control for the AC/DC microgrid.

The intrinsic hazards associated with high-pressure hydrogen, combined with electromechanical interactions in hybrid architectures, pose significant challenges in predicting potential system risks during the conceptual design phase. In this paper, a risk analysis methodology integrating systems theoretic process analysis (STPA), D-S evidence theory, and Bayesian networks (BN) is established. The approach employs STPA to identify unsafe control actions and analyze their loss scenarios. Subsequently, D-S evidence theory quantifies the likelihood of risk factors, while the BN model’s nodal uncertainties to construct a risk network identifying critical risk-inducing events. This methodology provides a comprehensive risk analysis process that identifies systemic risk elements, quantifies risk probabilities, and incorporates uncertainties for quantitative risk assessment. These insights inform risk-averse design decisions for hydrogen–electric hybrid powered aircraft. A case study demonstrates the framework’s effectiveness. The approach bridges theoretical risk analysis with early-stage engineering practice, delivering actionable guidance for advancing zero-emission aviation. Full article

Accurate power load forecasting is crucial for maintaining the equilibrium between power supply and demand and for safeguarding the stability of power systems. Through a comprehensive optimization of both the parameters and structure of the traditional load forecasting model, this study developed a short-term power load prediction model (QGA-RMNN) based on a quantum genetic algorithm to optimize an artificial recurrent memory network. The model utilizes the principle of quantum computing to improve the search mechanism of the genetic algorithm. It also combines the memory characteristics of the recurrent neural network, combining the advantages of the maturity and stability of traditional algorithms, as well as the intelligence and efficiency of advanced algorithms, and optimizes the memory, input, and output units of the LSTM network by using the artificial excitation network, thus improving the prediction accuracy. Then, the hyperparameters of the RMNN are optimized using quantum genetics. After that, the proposed prediction model was rigorously validated using case studies employing load datasets from a microgrid and the Elia grid in Belgium, Europe, and was compared and analyzed against the classical LSTM, GA-RBF, GM-BP, and other algorithms. Compared to existing algorithms, the results show that this model demonstrates significant advantages in predictive performance, offering an effective solution for enhancing the accuracy and stability of load forecasting.
