Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The Guest Editor is inviting submissions to a Special Issue of Energies on the subject area of “Frequency Regulation in Low-Inertia Renewable-Energy-Dominated Grid”. The inertia of the future power grid is expected to be much lower than that of the present system due to a higher share of renewable energy sources. With less mechanical inertia, the disturbances caused by a power mismatch between generation and demand will result in faster and larger frequency deviations.

This Special Issue invites papers with novel and efficient methods for the fast regulation of frequency in the event of a transient. Related to the above subject area, topics of interest for publication include but are not limited to:

  • Control method of power electronics;
  • Optimal operation of renewable energy;
  • Energy storage systems;
  • Virtual synchronous generator;
  • Energy management;
  • Power system frequency stability.

Energy storage devices are imperative to damp out the oscillations caused by sudden magnified disturbances occurring in a power system. The presence of a small rating of storage device in each area can alleviate the system oscillations effectively. Therefore, in this work, redox flow batteries (RFBs) have been integrated in each area of a five-area interconnected system for effective load frequency control (LFC). The RFB pumps up the active power into the system quickly to meet the short-time overload; in turn, the efficacy of the LFC in the system is boosted. Despite the presence of the RFB in the power system, a secondary controller is necessary to quench the deviation of frequency and tie-line power caused by the power mismatch between demand and generation. In this perspective, a cascade controller incorporated with a fractional operator (FO) has been endorsed and designed through a nascent selfish herd optimizer technique to evaluate the transient response of the system. Besides this, the unprecedented performance of fractional-order cascade controllers has been compared with one-stage classical controllers with and without a fractional operator. Further, the robustness of the proposed controller has been inspected through subjecting it to a random load in the presence/absence of an RFB and parametric variation. Finally, the proposed model has been simulated in the OPAL-RT-4510 platform to validate the performance of the proposed controller that has produced in the MATLAB environment. Full article
