Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The profound transformation of the global energy structure has led to the large-scale integration of wind and photovoltaic power generation into electrical power systems. While driving the development of a clean, low-carbon power system, this fundamental shift by the replacement of conventional synchronous generators with power electronic converter-based units introduces significant new challenges to the secure and stable operation of power grids. The consequent severe reduction in system rotational inertia and the inherent lack of frequency and voltage tolerance capabilities in these converter resources deteriorate system frequency and transient stability. Furthermore, the multi time-scale interactions between these converters, grid impedance, and conventional synchronous generators have led to massive broadband oscillation events in the field. These interconnected challenges have become key bottlenecks limiting the secure accommodation of high-penetration renewable energy.
Concurrently, converter-interfaced energy generation equipment offers inherent advantages such as flexible, software-defined control and fast dynamic response. These features provide the potential for a fundamental paradigm shift from passive adaptation to active support in grid operation, enabling renewables to become a cornerstone of system stability rather than a vulnerability. The active support, e.g., the grid-forming capabilities of new energy systems are thus emerging as core technological solutions for building future power systems with 100% renewable energy penetration and ensuring their inherent grid stability. Addressing these challenges urgently requires the exploration of advanced modeling, control strategies, and innovative stability analysis methods.
This Special Issue aims to compile the latest research achievements in the field of control technology and stability analysis for new energy grid integration. We invite the submission of high-quality original research and review articles.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Characteristics and mechanisms of broadband oscillations in renewable generation-dominated power systems
- Modeling and control of frequency response in low inertia power grids
- Voltage stability and control issues for weak-grid tied renewables
- Dynamic interaction mechanism analysis for multi-converter systems
- Multi-timescale stability modeling and analysis approaches
- Novel grid forming control technology for specific service support
- Damping control strategies for broadband oscillation mitigation
- Data-driven stability assessment and monitoring
