Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Due to the widespread use of renewable energy and microgrids, the issues associated with stable power control, optimal energy management, and the power dispatch of interconnected microgrids have been of great concern. The unsuitable energy arrangement and power dispatch strategy may introduce additional power loss for the interconnected microgrids or power systems, and the insufficient performance of control response would easily lead to the tripping of the power grid and reduce the usage life of the power system equipment. Therefore, improving the robustness of power quality in system control and the optimization of energy management and dispatch have become important issues for both utilities and customers.

Research on Power System Control and Optimization is a Special Issue of Energies for those who wish to publish their original papers about the advanced control and optimization approaches for power systems. This Special Issue aims to present important results of work related to power control and optimization in the smart grid, microgrid, renewable energy, power electronics, electric vehicles and energy management techniques, modernization of power system, energy storage, and their various applications. The works can be applied research, the development of new algorithms or components, original applications of existing knowledge, or new facilities applied to power systems. Prospective authors are invited to submit original papers to this Special Issue. The topics of interest for publication include but are not limited to

Control Strategy for Distributed Power Grid;
Optimal Configuration of Power Grid;

Abstract

There is some risk of power quality disturbances at many stages of production, transformation, distribution, and energy consumption. The cornerstone for dealing with power quality problems is the characterization of power quality disturbances (PQDs). However, past research has focused on a narrow topic: noise disruption, overfitting, and training time. A new strategy is suggested to address this problem that combines efficient one-dimensional dataset compression with the convolutional neural network (CNN) classification algorithm. First, three types of compression algorithms: wavelet transform, autoencoder, and CNN, are proposed to be evaluated. According to the IEEE-1159 standard, the synthetic dataset was built with fourteen different PQD types. Furthermore, the PQD classification procedure integrated compressed data with the CNN classification algorithm. Finally, the suggested method demonstrates that combining CNN compression and classification methods can efficiently recognize PQDs. Even in noisy environments, PQD signal processing achieved up to 98.25% accuracy and managed the overfitting. Full article

Wide-Area Measurement-Based Two-Level Control Design to Tolerate Permanent Communication Failures

Abstract

The operation of modern power systems must meet stability requirements to guarantee the supply of electrical energy. One of these requirements is to ensure that the low-frequency oscillation modes have high damping ratios to avoid angular instability and future power system blackouts. Advances in phasor measurement units (PMUs) have contributed to the development and improvement of wide-area damping controllers (WADCs) capable of increasing the damping rates of the oscillation modes of the system, especially the inter-area modes. Nevertheless, the operation of WADCs is vulnerable to communication failures and cyber-attacks, and if not properly designed the WADC can affect the stability of the entire system. This research proposes a procedure for designing a WADC robust to permanent communication failures using a linear quadratic regulator (LQR) and genetic algorithms. Case studies conducted on an IEEE 68-bus test power system show the effectiveness of the WADC designed by the proposed procedure even when communication failures are occurring in the system. The use of genetic algorithms improves the convergence and results of the LQR-based method. Full article

The Use of a Regulating Transformer for Shaping Power Flow in the Power System

by Szymon Żurek and Maksymilian Przygrodzki

Abstract

The current situation in world energy requires a new approach to the control of the power flow in power systems. On the one hand, regulations within the EU require the transition to renewable energy. On the other hand, there are no conventional sources available. Thus, there is a need to use known control tools in non-standard applications. One such example is the use of a regulating transformer inside the power grid to use it to shape the power flow in the system. This article presents a proposal of an algorithm for determining new locations for regulating transformers from the point of view of active power control. By analyzing the parameters of the power grid, it is possible to determine which branch of the grid is the most suitable for installing a regulating transformer in it. The use of a regulating transformer inside the grid improves the transmission capabilities of the national power system. Full article
