Distributed Energy Systems and Resources

Dear Colleagues,

It is our great honor to bring your attention to our Topic, “Distributed Energy Systems and Resources”!

In recent decades, the extensive utilization of fossil fuels has brought about severe energy crises all over the world. As a result, there is increasing penetration of clean distributed energy sources in emerging energy systems. However, the introduction of these distrusted resources would pose a great challenge to the economic and reliable planning, operation, and control of energy systems. Currently, researchers from both academia and industry are paving ways to develop strategies and schemes to dispatch all these distributed resources into microgrids, ships, smart buildings, etc., to reduce energy supply costs and guarantee high energy utilization quality.

This Topic provides a platform for worldwide researchers to present their research works related to the optimal planning, operation, and control of energy systems with distributed energy resources. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Advanced modeling of distributed energy resources.
• Smart control of power converters for the safe integration of distributed resources.
• Uncertainty forecasting and handling for renewable-based generators.
• Multi-energy consumption behavior (demand response) modeling for carbon reduction.
• Application of machine learning-based methods for smart operation.
• Multi-vector distributed energy resources planning.
• Power electronics-dominated power systems control.
