Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, challenges in the field of energy have become increasingly stringent and complex in terms of the consumption of primary resources and of pollutant emissions. In terms of energy, scientific and technical paradigms had to focus on changing toward a more intricate reality. With the rapid development of various renewable energies (e.g., wind and solar energies) and advanced energy storage technologies, the current energy structure and power generation modes have achieved dramatical transformations. Traditional power systems that mainly consists of fossil energy have experienced dramatical transformations. The proposed "New Power System" concept aims to construct a clean, low-carbon, safe, and efficient modern energy system, which takes renewable energy as the basis and fossil energy as a supplement.
Due to the inherent strong randomness and uncertainty characteristics of renewable energy, it is difficult yet crucial to undertake some advanced techniques in modern power systems with large-scale renewable energy integration to ensure the power generation output can be optimized and controlled on demand. Hence, the exploitation and implementation of various advanced optimization and control techniques is extremely critical for economic and efficient operation, including frequency regulation, voltage support, converter control, parameter/state identification and estimation, MPPT design, planning and dispatching, power and load forecast, and so on. Therefore, the exploitation and application of various advanced techniques to deal with the optimization and control of new energy systems are imperative.
This Special Issue aims to make an effective contribution to highlight all solutions, methodologies, approaches, and tools to collect first-class research along this direction, focusing on the most recent investigations and studies on optimization and control strategies for new power system. Researchers and experts worldwide are invited to submit high-quality original research papers and review articles on the following potential topics.
Potential topics aims at covering themes including but not limited to:
- Modelling and simulation of renewable energy systems;
- Operation planning and control of energy storage systems;
- Application of optimization techniques such as meta-heuristic algorithms, reinforcement learning, and neural networks to energy systems and grids;
- Control strategies such as fuzzy logic control, sliding-mode control, feedback control, perturbation/disturbance observer-based control, H-infinity control, and backstepping control for energy systems and grids;
- Approaches for the optimized design of architectures and sizing of energy systems and grids;
- Solutions and techniques for energy generation, conversion, distribution, storage, and use (e.g., renewable energy generation, energy storage systems, etc.).
