Advances in Power Science and Technology, 3rd Edition

Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

Following the success of the first and second editions of “Advances in Power Science and Technology”, we are pleased to launch the third edition of this Topic.

This edition places a stronger focus on data-driven, optimization-enabled, and application-oriented advances for modern low-carbon power systems. As power systems continue to integrate higher shares of renewable generation, distributed energy resources, storage, flexible loads, and power-to-X pathways, new challenges arise in system operation, planning, control, forecasting, and cross-sector integration. Addressing these challenges requires not only methodological innovation, but also large-scale validation and evidence from realistic engineering applications.

This Topic aims to bring together recent advances that improve the security, flexibility, resilience, efficiency, and low-carbon performance of modern power and energy systems. We welcome contributions that develop and evaluate new theories, models, algorithms, and practical tools for emerging power system applications.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Power system operation, control, and stability with high renewable penetration;
• Optimization and coordinated scheduling of energy storage systems and flexible resources;
• Forecasting for wind power, solar power, load, and other grid-relevant variables;
• Data-driven and artificial intelligence methods for smart grids and energy management;
• Planning and operation of integrated energy systems and sector-coupled systems;
• Renewable power-to-hydrogen, power-to-ammonia, and other power-to-X applications;
• Power electronics and converter-dominated system analysis and control;
• Resilience enhancement, reliability assessment, and grid-support technologies for future power systems.

We particularly encourage submissions in the following forms:

• Methodological advances, including new models, optimization methods, forecasting frameworks, and control strategies;
• Large-scale validation studies, including benchmark-based comparisons, multi-scenario analysis, and cross-system testing;
• Real-world case studies, including utility-oriented studies, pilot projects, and demonstrations with practical operational relevance;
• Review and perspective articles that provide critical synthesis and identify future research directions in emerging areas of power science and technology.

To improve reproducibility and research transparency, authors are strongly encouraged to provide datasets, code, benchmark test cases, and comparative evaluation settings, where possible. We also especially welcome studies with clear links to utility applications, pilot-scale implementations, grid operator practice, and field-oriented engineering deployment.

We look forward to receiving high-quality contributions that advance both the scientific foundations and practical applications of next-generation power and energy systems.
