Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The 33rd Australasian Universities Power Engineering Conference (AUPEC2023) was held from the 25th to 27th of September 2023 in Ballarat, Australia. The conference aimed to create a knowledge-sharing platform for researchers and industry professionals to present and discuss contemporary and emerging technologies. The conference invited researchers and industry professionals to submit novel and original ideas on various aspects of power and energy engineering; these included, but were not limited to, the following topics in the energy field:

  • Computer-aided analysis of power systems;
  • Condition monitoring and Fault diagnosis in power systems;
  • Cyber security of power systems and smart grids;
  • Data analytics in smart grids;
  • Generation and transmission system;
  • Planning and operation of energy systems;
  • Distribution system planning and operation;
  • Distributed energy resources;
  • DC-powered dwellings;
  • Electrical machines and drives;

Assessments of the hosting capacity of electricity distribution networks are of paramount importance, as they facilitate the seamless integration of rooftop photovoltaic systems into the grid, accelerating the transition towards a more carbon neutral and sustainable system. This paper employs a deep reinforcement learning-based approach to evaluate the real-time hosting capacity of low voltage distribution networks in a model-free manner. The proposed approach only requires real-time customer voltage data and solar irradiation data to provide a fast and accurate estimate of real-time hosting capacity at each customer connection point. This study addresses the imperative for accurate electrical models, which are frequently unavailable, in evaluating the hosting capacity of electricity distribution networks. To meet this challenge, the proposed approach utilizes a deep neural network-based, data-driven model of a low-voltage electricity distribution network. This proposed methodology incorporates model-free elements, enhancing its adaptability and robustness. In addition, a comparative analysis between model-based and model-free hosting capacity assessment methods is presented, highlighting their respective strengths and weaknesses. The utilization of the proposed hosting capacity estimation model enables distribution network service providers to make well-informed decisions regarding grid planning, leading to cost minimization.
