Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The integration of new advanced technologies into smart energy systems and grids requires a multi-dimensional understanding of and approach to energy demand, energy resources, infrastructure operation, security and costs issues. These technical, economic and, not least, environment-related challenges need a new complex addressing at both theoretical and practical levels. The finding of tangible solutions represents a quest for academia, industry and society in general, implying the exploring and development in searching of the technologies beyond the currently known horizons.

New ideas and findings in smart grids-related fields could offer the opportunity to enhance, optimize and increase energy availability and usage. Namely, these include the optimal and safe usage of available energy resources, efficient energy conversion control solutions, and power systems integration of distributed resources by assuring power quality, security and environment-neutral impact for long term and sustainable development.

This Special Issue aims to highlight novel, innovative and cutting-edge research to address current and future smart grids development and operation.

To address the increasing hydrogen demand and carbon emissions of industrial parks, this paper proposes an integrated energy system dispatch strategy considering multi-hydrogen supply and comprehensive demand response. This model adopts power-to-gas technology to produce green hydrogen, replacing a portion of gray hydrogen and incorporates a carbon capture system to effectively reduce the overall carbon emissions of the industrial park. Meanwhile, incentive-based and price-based demand response strategies are implemented to optimize the load curve. A scheduling model is established targeting the minimization of procurement, operation, carbon emission, and wind curtailment costs. The case study of a northern industrial park in China demonstrates that the joint supply of green and gray hydrogen reduces carbon emissions by 40.98% and costs by 17.93% compared to solely using gray hydrogen. The proposed approach successfully coordinates the economic and environmental performance of the integrated energy system. This study provides an effective scheduling strategy for industrial parks to accommodate high shares of renewables while meeting hydrogen needs and carbon reduction targets. Full article

The size of power grids and a complex technological infrastructure with higher levels of automation, connectivity, and remote access make it necessary to be able to detect anomalies of various kinds using optimal and intelligent methods. This paper is a review of studies related to the detection of anomalies in smart grids using AI. Digital repositories were explored considering publications between the years 2011 and 2023. Iterative searches were carried out to consider studies with different approaches, propose experiments, and help identify the most applied methods. Seven objects of study related to anomalies in SG were identified: attacks on data integrity, unusual measurements and consumptions, intrusions, network infrastructure, electrical data, identification of cyber-attacks, and use of detection devices. The issues relating to cybersecurity prove to be widely studied, especially to prevent intrusions, fraud, data falsification, and uncontrolled changes in the network model. There is a clear trend towards the conformation of anomaly detection frameworks or hybrid solutions. Machine learning, regression, decision trees, deep learning, support vector machines, and neural networks are widely used. Other proposals are presented in novel forms, such as federated learning, hyperdimensional computing, and graph-based methods. More solutions are needed that do not depend on a lot of data or knowledge of the network model. The use of AI to solve SG problems is generating an evolution towards what could be called next-generation smart grids. At the end of this document is a list of acronyms and terminology. Full article
