Power System Modeling and Control

Dear Colleagues,

The present topic of Energies aims at collecting innovative contributions related to the wide topic of Power System Modelling and Control.

The ongoing transition to sustainable energy is giving rise to new challenges to guarantee the stability, resilience and reliability of power systems and, therefore, the need of new approaches, techniques and methodology to accomplish this goal.

This topic will welcome innovative and high quality contributions at power system level with a high level related but not limited to the following aspects:

• Approaches to integrate renewable energy sources into the power grid by contributing to voltage and frequency regulation;
• Innovative control architectures and energy management for Battery Energy Storage Systems;
• Innovative features of grid-feeding, grid-forming and grid-supporting inverters to provide ancillary services to the electricity power systems;
• Innovative control approaches for microgrids operation especially for islanded operation;
• Approaches to achieve suitable operation of power electronics dominated power systems;
• Exploitation of new forms of flexibility for the electrical system, exploiting new chains such as Power-to-X (P2X) and Vehicle-to-X (V2X), but also demand response, storage systems and sector integration;
• Integration of the distribution system as active player for the power system operation;
• New planning procedures, involving stochastic and robust optimization algorithm, able to handle with the intrinsic uncertainty of loads and generations;
• Development of “digital twins” of the electrical system based on real-time simulation approach, allowing Power Hardware-in-the-Loop (PHIL), Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) or Control-in-the-Loop (CIL);
• New modelling frameworks, investigating the electrical system as complex and multi-layer system.
