Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Energies invites submissions to the Special Issue on the complex dynamics of energy flow in the power grid with high penetration of grid-connected inverter-based renewable energy resources.

The complex dynamics of energy flow in the power system with high penetration of inverter-based renewable resources and storage systems are not fully understood. The current analytic techniques and tools for power system analysis are inadequate to address some of the complex energy flow experienced, particularly during the transient periods following inevitable disturbances or intentional autonomous grid reconfigurations.

This Special Issue is dedicated to the new thoughts and ideas for modeling, measurement, and protection against the complexity of energy flow that the conventional power grid does not have.

The topic areas of interest include, but are not limited to:

  • Reports or reviews on sub-synchronous resonance and oscillations associated with renewable energies and large-storage systems, and other complex dynamics experienced and issues in the power grid;
  • Model of complex dynamics in non-linear, non-Newtonian multi-physics systems;
  • Machine learning and artificial intelligence;
  • Measurement, instrumentation, state estimation, and signal detection of complex systems;
  • New ideas of adaptive protection systems with setting groups and devices against complex transients under variable and intermittent operation conditions.

Submissions of unconventional but related research works from interdisciplinary areas, such as physics, mathematics, machine learning, computer sciences, and other science and engineering areas are encouraged. Submissions of clearly described novel, innovative ideas without intensive empirical validation are also welcome and will be fully evaluated.

All submissions should be the original, unpublished work not being considered for publication elsewhere and must follow the submission guidelines of Energies. Submissions will be refereed according to the standard procedures for the Journal of Classification.

Papers for the Special Issue should be submitted using the journal’s submission system of Energies.

The complexity of modern power grids, caused by integrating renewable energy sources, especially inverter-based resources, presents a significant challenge to grid operation and planning, since linear models are unable to capture the complex nonlinear dynamics of power systems with coupled muti-scale dynamics, and it necessitate an alternative approach utilizing more advanced and data-driven algorithms to improve modeling accuracy and system optimization. This study employs the sparse identification of nonlinear dynamics method by leveraging compressed sensing and sparse modeling principles, offering robustness and the potential for generalization, allowing for identifying key dynamical features with relatively few measurements, and providing deeper theoretical understanding in the field of power system analysis. Taking advantage of the this method in recognizing the active terms (first and high order) in the system’s governing equation, this paper also introduces the novel Volterra-based nonlinearity index to characterize system-level nonlinearity. The distinction of dynamics into first-order linearizable terms, second-order nonlinear dynamics, and third-order noise is adopted to clearly show the intricacy of power systems. The findings demonstrate a fundamental shift in system dynamics as power sources transit to inverter-based resources, revealing system-level (second-order) nonlinearity compared to module-level (first order) nonlinearity in conventional synchronous generators. The proposed index quantifies nonlinear-to-linear relationships, enriching our comprehension of power system behavior and offering a tool for distinguishing between different nonlinearities and visualizing their distinct patterns through the profile of the proposed index.
