Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The worldwide potential of electric power generation from renewable energy resources is high. The widespread deployment of such technologies is mandatory to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and meet the requirements for sustainable development. Moreover, the strong intermittent character of renewable generation means that new resources are needed to balance this intermittency in energy systems. Energy storage systems, controllable loads, and power-to-gas technology, which can be controlled with respect to the operation of the power grid, can meet these needs. The integration of these distributed energy resources into the distribution and transmission grid, the emergence of new consumption patterns, the emergence of power-to-gas technology (mainly green hydrogen production), the use of energy storage devices and the activation of energy intelligence in industry and residential buildings are paving the way for smart grids.
Researchers in both academia and industry are extensively investigating the integration of these distributed energy resources into the power grid. While the research emphasis is more directed towards power conversion interface, control and power quality aspects, very limited activities have been witnessed in energy management systems, energy storage systems for intermittence mitigation, and self-healing strategies for resilience purposes, which are of vital importance for their successful integration into the grid or into standalone microgrids.
The objective of this Special Issue is to address and disseminate the state-of-the-art research and development results on the implementation, planning, operation, and grid integration of renewable energy resources and energy storage systems, where power electronics interfaces, control, power quality issues, energy management, and resilience are the core issues.
