Advances in Planning, Operation, Control/Protection, and Market of New Power Energy System

Dear Colleagues,

New power energy systems are composed of multiple interconnected energy supplies and consumption networks, such as power grids, oil and gas networks (including natural gas/hydrogen networks), cold and hot networks, transportation networks (including highway/railway/shipping/aviation, etc.), and communication/information networks (including data centers, supercomputing centers, etc.). Their key characteristic is that each energy-related network has a respective source, network, load, and storage in corresponding energy form, and there is a bidirectional coupling of energy flow and information flow between the primary energy network and the secondary communication/information network.

All energy networks are coordinated, scheduled, and controlled/protected by the communication/information network. Each individual energy network and multi-energy system's overall energy network, as well as each communication/information network, have their own planning, operation, control/protection, and market trading, with the goal of achieving balance, security, stability, efficiency, and low-carbon environmental protection during system operations under different time scales. This topic focuses on the innovative methods, key technologies, and applications in the planning, operation, control/protection, and marketing of new power energy systems, involving the integration of multiple disciplines and application areas such as electrical engineering, power engineering, transportation engineering, control engineering, communication engineering, computer science (including artificial intelligence), and mathematics (including network science, optimization theory, etc.). The scope of submissions includes, but is not limited to, the following:

1. Planning methods and key technologies for new power energy systems;
2. Operation methods and key technologies of new power energy systems;
3. Control/protection methods and key technologies for new power energy systems;
4. Progress in market mechanisms and clearing methods for new power energy systems.
