Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Advancements in artificial intelligence have led to new opportunities in enhancing smart grids which utilize advanced digital communication and control technologies to better manage electricity generation, transmission, and consumption. AI is able to improve grids’ efficiency, reliability, and sustainability by providing real-time monitoring, analysis, and control of grid operations. AI has been successfully applied for myriad smart grid challenges, such as the optimization of power flow, forecasting of energy demand and generation, transmission expansion problem, grid resiliency against cyber-attacks and environmental threats, renewable energy integration, fault detection and control system optimization. Enhancing smart grids with artificial intelligence will provide further benefits, such as minimizing greenhouse gas emissions, optimizing operation cost, and improving the performance and sustainability of the smart grid.

This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of the latest research and insights on the application of AI in smart grid systems, with the goal of advancing the field and promoting sustainable energy solutions. This includes design, optimization, management, case studies, experimental results, and new methodologies for applying AI to smart grids.

Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to:

  • All aspects of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and optimization integration related to power system components;
  • Renewable energy integration and management and hybrid renewable energy systems (HRESs);
  • Energy demand forecasting and optimization of the energy market;
  • Energy management systems (EMSs) and energy storage systems (ESSs);
  • Fault detection and diagnosis;
  • Load balancing and optimization;
  • Grid resiliency assessment and distributed energy resource management;
  • Smart grid communication and controller optimization;
  • Edge computing and data analytics for smart grids;
  • Life-cycle assessment of energy and decarbonization roadmaps;
  • Internet of things and cyber-physical energy systems.

Due to the access of distributed energy and a new flexible load, the electrical characteristics of a new distribution network are significantly different from those of a traditional distribution network, which poses a new challenge to the original topology identification methods. To address this challenge, a hierarchical topology identification method based on regression analysis and knowledge reasoning is proposed for an active low-voltage distribution network (ALVDN). Firstly, according to the new electrical characteristics of bidirectional power flow and voltage jump caused by the ALVDN, active power is selected as the electric volume for hierarchical topology identification. Secondly, considering the abnormal fluctuation of active power caused by bidirectional power flow characteristics of distributed energy users, a user attribution model based on the Elastic-Net regression algorithm is proposed. Subsequently, based on the user identification results, the logic knowledge reflecting the hierarchical topology of the ALVDN is extracted by the AMIE algorithm, and the “transformer-phase-line-user” hierarchical topology of the ALVDN is deduced by a knowledge reasoning model. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by an IEEE example. Full article
