Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

With the large-scale grid connection of new energy with strong randomness/volatility and a significant number of power electronic equipment, the topological structure and dynamic characteristics of the power system have undergone profound changes, and the safe and stable operation of the power system with new energy as the main body faces great challenges. Power electronic equipment has many control time scales, strong coupling between different devices, a weak overload capacity, and a complex operation transient process, which makes stability problems such as voltage, synchronization and frequency more prominent. Firstly, the lack of power regulation at different time scales greatly weakens the frequency, voltage support and control capabilities, and significantly increases the risk of chain failures. Secondly, the basic theory and methods used to achieve power system stability need to be expanded. Indeed, the participation of multiple controllable resources in system regulation increases the dimensions and complexity of control decisions. Therefore, it is urgent to explore novel theories and technologies for stability analysis, collaborative control and the optimal operation of high-proportion energy power systems.

Potential topics may include (but are not limited to) the following:

  • Frequency stability analysis and control technology;
  • Voltage stability analysis and control technology;
  • Stability analysis and collaborative control of new energy cluster;
  • Optimization control of active distribution networks;
  • Source-grid collaboration of new energy power system;
  • Inertia identification, evaluation and optimal configuration;
  • Mechanism analysis and optimal control of frequency security and stability;
  • Theory and methods of new energy power system modeling;
  • Stability analysis and control of DC transmission system in renewable energy system;
  • New energy power system fault recovery;
  • New energy power system resilience improvement.

Capillary flow-related hydrovoltaic technology is an emerging research field for sustainable electricity generation. Despite great progress in the last decade, the mechanisms behind electricity generation remain unclear. In this review, we provide an overview of the current proposed mechanisms for electricity generation induced by water evaporation and moisture absorption. We explore key mechanisms, including streaming potential, ion concentration gradient, microbial electricity, ionovoltaic effect, pseudo-streaming, evaporating potential, and upstream proton diffusion. Each offers distinct insights and faces specific challenges that require further study. Unlike previous reviews, we focus specifically on the detailed mechanistic understanding of capillary flow-related electricity generation and highlight the interplay of different mechanisms. Additionally, we identify critical gaps in current research, particularly the need for empirical validation through advanced characterization techniques, such as spectroscopy, microscopy, and electrochemical analysis. Moreover, we discuss the practical applications of capillary flow-related hydrovoltaic technology in energy harvesting systems and self-powered sensors, highlighting its potential to convert water evaporation and environmental moisture into sustainable energy. We believe this review can serve as a starting point for further efforts aimed at addressing these challenges, thus paving the way for the commercialization of this technology and its contribution to sustainable development goals.
