Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In order to mitigate the greenhouse gas emissions and global warming concerns, modernizing electrical energy generation systems for sustainable energy has gained popularity. The need for ecologically friendly power generation has led to innovative concepts in generation, transmission, distribution, energy storage, building architecture, system fabrication and utilization. This new paradigm changes the energy grid. Power grid modernization includes adding grid energy storage and allowing electric vehicles to plug in and out of the system. Renewable energy integration into the utility grid, battery energy storage technologies, and microgrids or nanogrids are key to overcome new hurdles.

In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:

  • Power converters and their control for renewable energy applications;
  • Energy conversion and storage;
  • Renewable-energy-based low-power energy technologies;
  • Application of renewable energy systems for zero-energy/net-positive buildings;
  • Health monitoring/condition monitoring of renewable energy systems;
  • Reliability of smart grids;
  • Design, control, fabrication and optimization of battery management systems (BMSs);
  • Advancement in the materials science for renewable energy systems;
  • High-performance HVAC systems for buildings.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

Wind and photovoltaic power generation connected to the independent power system can save fuel, reduce carbon emissions, and provide significant economic and environmental benefits. Influenced by the characteristics of light resources and wind resources, the wind and photovoltaic output active power is characterized by volatility and randomness, which affects the frequency stability of the independent power system. In order to evaluate the frequency stability, in this paper, the simulation model of an independent power system is established, and the simulation model of a diesel generator, wind and photovoltaic are connected. Through droop calculation and Simulink simulation, the frequency characteristics of an independent power system under different working conditions are analyzed, and the maximum absorption capacity of wind and photovoltaic is studied. In an independent power system, when the new energy output is 25% of the total output, all the new energy output is cut off, the frequency drops by 0.5 Hz, and the frequency fluctuation is within the specified range.
