Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The 10th International Conference on Smart Energy Grid Engineering (SEGE 2022) will be held at Ontario Tech University, Oshawa, Canada, from August 10 to 12, 2022. SEGE provides participants with the opportunity to discuss various engineering challenges presented by smart energy grid design and operation and their applications. Researchers from academia and professionals from the industry, as well as government regulators, will be able to exchange knowledge and the best practices for smart energy grids.

Authors of papers related to energy and presented at the conference are invited to submit extended versions of their work to this Special Issue for publication.

Abstract

The ambitious targets for the reduction of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions force the enhanced integration and installation of Renewable Energy Sources (RESs). Furthermore, the increased reliance of multiple sectors on electrical energy additionally challenges the electricity grid with high volatility from the demand side. In order to keep the transmission system operation stable and secure, the present approach adds local flexibility into the distribution system using the modular Energy Hub Gas (EHG) concept. For this concept, two different test cases are configured and evaluated. The two configured EHGs demonstrate the ability to provide flexibility and adaptability by reducing the difference between maximal and minimal load in the surrounding grid infrastructure by

30 %

in certain time periods. Furthermore, the average energy exchange is reduced by

8 %

. Therefore, by relieving the grid infrastructure in the local surroundings, the additional potential of RES is enabled and the curtailment of existing ones can be reduced. Full article

Abstract

Smart grids of the future will create and provide huge data volumes, which are subject to FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) data management solutions when used within the scientific domain and for operation. FAIR Digital Objects (FDOs) provide access to (meta)data, and ontologies explicitly describe metadata as well as application data objects and domains. The present paper proposes a novel approach to integrate FAIR digital objects and ontologies as metadata models in order to support data access for energy researchers, energy research applications, operational applications and energy information systems. As the first example domain to be modeled using an ontology and to get integrated with FAIR digital objects, a photovoltaic (PV) system model is selected. For the given purpose, a discussion of existing energy ontologies shows the necessity to develop a new PV ontology. By integration of FDOs, this new PV ontology is introduced in the present paper. Furthermore, the concept of FDOs is integrated with the PV ontology in such a way that it allows for generalization. By this, the present paper contributes to a sustainable data management for smart grid operation, especially for interoperability, by using ontologies and, hence, unambiguous semantics. An information system application that visualizes the PV system, its describing data and collected sensor data, is proposed. As a proof of concept the details of the use case implementation are presented. Full article

Abstract

Full utilization of renewable energy resources is a difficult task due to the constantly changing demand-side load of the electrical grid. Demand-side management would solve this crucial problem. To enable demand-side management, knowledge about the composition of the grid load is required, as well as the ability to schedule individual loads. There are proposed Smart Plugs presented in the literature capable of such tasks. The problem, however, is that these methods lack the ability to detect if a previously unseen electrical load is connected. Misclassification of such loads presents a problem for load estimation and scheduling. Open-set recognition methods solve this problem by providing a way to detect samples not belonging to any class used during the training of the classifier. This paper evaluates the novel application of open-set recognition methods to the problem of load classification. Two approaches were examined, and both offer promising results. A Support Vector Machine based approach was first evaluated. The second, more robust method used a modified OpenMax-based algorithm to detect unseen loads. Full article
