Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The weakening of AC grids due to the low-inertia response of massive renewable energy sources interfaced by power electronic converters is a current tendency that demands new control schemes for power electronic converters and energy storage technologies. For this reason, it is important to develop digital models for the dynamic and transient simulation of energy conversion systems to predict their behavior in increasingly frequent unexpected circumstances. In this sense, energy storage technologies also play an important role to mitigate the adverse impact of these low-inertia systems on AC electrical grids. Additionally, hybrid AC/DC grids are becoming the cornerstone for the transition towards a system with massive renewable energy resources in a power-converter-dominated environment. However, grid resilience must be ensured simultaneously with these network upgrades to ensure a sustainable energy future. Therefore, this Special Issue aims to explore innovative control and management approaches to cope with these scenarios.
This Special Issue provides a platform for researchers to share their findings related to the impact of renewable energy systems and energy storage technologies interfaced by power electronic converters on electrical AC grids. All contributions that address various difficulties and challenges in the aforementioned field are encouraged for submission. This Special Issue welcomes manuscripts that present analytical research, comparative studies among different technologies, technical solutions on specific application scenarios and reviews.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
(1) Hybrid AC/DC networks;
(2) Energy storage technologies ;
(3) Stability of power-converter-dominated AC grids;
(4) Renewable energy;
(5) Grid-forming techniques;
(6) Grid-supporting techniques;
