Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The microgrid has long been seen as one of the most promising solutions to convert distributed renewable energy sources (DRESs) like solar, wind, and battery storage into electrical power due to the capability of providing flexible and controllable means to integrate DRESs with power electronics technologies, which contributes substantially to the word’s sustainable energy development. However, with the increasing penetration level of DRESs, the physical inertia traditionally provided by synchronous generators (SGs) reduces sharply, resulting in significant challenges of future microgrids in system modeling, stability analysis, and control design. Since the system modeling is the prerequisite for stability analysis and control design, precise and computationally efficient models are essentially necessary to be built by incorporating distinct properties of each category of renewable energy sources. Hybrid modeling methods are prospective but are not fully revealed, both for DRESs and their interactions with electrical networks. For the stability analysis, diverse key performance indicators (KPIs), such as robustness, reliability, sensibility, and resiliency, should be focused on, with the particular attention to different system variables (e.g., voltage and frequency), while the investigation on these aspects are not comprehensive. For the control design, the realization of KPIs for microgrids should be studied in the context of DRESs coordinated with the networked topology, while most current studies ignored the potential topology change and the intermittent communications. To better integrate DRESs into future microgrids, this Special Issue encourages researchers to advance the state-of-the-art studies from hybrid modeling, stability analysis, and control design perspectives. The research topics include but are not limited to the following:
- Advanced sustainable energy development
- Hybrid modeling of microgrids
- Stability analysis of hybrid energy systems
- Data-driven monitoring and control for smart grids
- Autonomous power inspection robotics
- Operation and protection of solar PV system
- Integration of new energy in urban design
- Consumer behavior in new energy
- Fault detection and diagnosis of power grid equipment ·
- Condition monitoring and performance evaluation
