Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The strong uncertainty, nonlinearity, and intermittency of renewable generation are imposing grand challenges for the secure and economic planning and operation of smart grids. Traditional methods’ performance can be limited without considering such growing uncertainties. Together with high-fidelity high-performance simulation techniques and big data analytics, the fast development of artificial intelligence (AI) technology, especially reinforcement learning (RL), provides a promising way of tackling these critical issues by providing effective and prompt control for power grid operation and control. This Special Issue aims at presenting recent developments and advancements in AI-driven solutions for the operation and control of future smart grids with high penetration of renewable generation and power electronics-based devices for achieving the goals of the full absorption of renewable energy, the optimized allocation of large-scale energy resources, and the reliable supply of electricity.

Transient stability boundary is an important tool for the security and stability analysis of power systems, but typically, obtaining it will result in a high computational burden. Existing methods for obtaining transient stability boundary often involve grid scanning, which generates a large number of dense operating points, followed by transient simulation, which incurs substantial time costs. This paper proposes a method for transient stability boundary exploration based on a Support Vector Machine (SVM), which uses a small number of operating points to obtain a more precise stability boundary while efficiently and accurately acquiring stable operating points near the stability boundary. Firstly, the SVM is employed to classify the initial samples and determine the transient stability boundary under the N-1 fault. Secondly, re-sampling is conducted for operating points near the stability boundary determined by the initial samples. After updating the sample set, SVM classification is performed again. This process is iterated multiple times, and the operating points are continuously generated in the direction oriented toward the actual stability boundary while obtaining a more precise transient stability boundary under the N-1 fault. Finally, the proposed method is validated using actual operational data from a regional power grid of China Southern Power Grid (Guangzhou, China), demonstrating the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed approach.
