Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the implementation of carbon policies driven by climate change at a global scale, the supply of DC power is expanding exponentially. Concurrently, advancements in power semiconductor application technologies are creating an era of digital data, driving steadily increasing demand for DC power.
Modern power systems require innovative and sustainable technological approaches to adapt to the rapidly evolving energy landscape. Optimizing power flow in integrated power systems is critical for the proliferation of renewable energy resources, the integration of distributed energy resources, and the efficient operation of smart grids and microgrids.
These challenges go beyond merely maintaining system stability. They play a pivotal role in reducing power losses during energy transitions, ensuring dynamic stability, and maximizing the efficiency of complex power networks. Researchers must move beyond traditional analytical methods and optimization techniques to meet demand, necessitating new and innovative approaches.
This Special Issue explores recent research and groundbreaking technologies related to power flow optimization in integrated power systems. It provides a platform to discuss practical, implementable solutions for enhancing power grid stability and efficiency. Furthermore, it offers a platform to share actionable ideas and successful applications that can benefit academia and industry.
