Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The rapid transition from fossil fuel-fired generations to sustainable energy has resulted in a power system operation that is increasingly complex, interconnected, and uncertain. A sustainable energy future calls for decision-making informed by the most advanced research and technologies in power markets and power grid resilience. This Special Issue aims to present the most recent advance in economic and resilient power system operations, including theoretical foundation, modeling, optimization, and application of emerging computational techniques.

Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to:

  • Power market operation, locational marginal price, and unit commitment and economic dispatch of power/multi-energy systems.
  • Power grid resilience, including extreme weather and cybersecurity.
  • Optimal electric vehicle integration in the smart grid.
  • Power system planning and energy management.
  • Novel optimization techniques for power system operations.
  • Application of cutting-edge artificial intelligence techniques.
  • Secure operation and control of 100% power electronics based power systems.

The frequency stability of interconnected power systems becomes quite challenging when incorporating renewable energy sources (mostly wind power). Distributed model predictive control (DMPC) is an effective method to maintain stable grid frequency and realize power system load frequency control (LFC). This paper proposes a two-layer robust DMPC for the LFC of an interconnected power system. In the scheme, the wind power penetrating the power grid is largely affected by the environment condition, and it is taken as an uncertain disturbance to the power system. The two-layer robust DMPC consists of a nominal DMPC controller and an ancillary DMPC controller. The nominal DMPCs coordinate with each other in achieving the systemwide LFC objective, where the systemwide objective is a strict convex combination of the local LFC objectives. The nominal optimization problems are solved supposing the wind power fluctuation is zero. The ancillary DMPC generates the actual control signal for each generation unit based on signals which are transmitted from the nominal DMPC controller. The simulation on a four-area interconnected power system demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm in alleviating the frequency deviation caused by varying the load and uncertain wind power fluctuation.

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is an effective means to achieve the goals of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality. To improve the operating economics and low-carbon emission of an integrated energy system, the strong exothermic property of power-to-gas is utilized for heat recovery and injection into the heat network. This expands the adjustable range of electric output of combined heat and power (CHP) units which will improve wind power accommodation. The CO2 produced by the coal-fired unit is captured using post-combustion carbon capture technology, and then stored and used to manufacture methane, in order to realize the electric–gas–heat integrated energy system coupled with power-to-gas. Based on the ladder-type carbon trading mechanism, a low-carbon economic dispatch model of integrated energy system is proposed, which considers the incorporation of power-to-gas heat recovery and carbon capture and storage. The objective function is to minimize the total operation cost of the system. The model is simulated in the revised IEEE 39-bus power network, Belgium 20-node gas network and 6-node heat network by CPLEX solver and simulation results verify the effectiveness of the proposed model.
