Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The rapid development and wide application of communication technology, multi-energy complementary technology, and distributed power generation technology have made the popularity of new power systems increase rapidly across the world, supporting and promoting the adjustment and upgrading of the world’s energy structures. With the proposal of a carbon neutrality goal and the continuous improvement of the penetration rate of renewable energy, traditional optimization methods are difficult to adapt to the increasingly complex energy environment and the requirements of new power systems’ intelligent decision making. Meanwhile, the continuous refinement of electricity and carbon market mechanisms necessitates stricter requirements for the planning and operation of new power systems.

To enhance self-balancing capability and energy efficiency, the guest Editorial Team is seeking original research and review papers related to the optimal planning, operation, and control of new power systems.

The integration of electric vehicles (EVs) into the power grid poses significant challenges and opportunities for energy management systems. This is especially concerning for parking lots or private building condominiums in which refurbishing is not possible or is costly. This paper presents a real-time monitoring approach to EV charging dynamics with battery storage support over a 24 h period. By simulating EV demand, state of charge (SOC), and charging and discharging events, we provide insights into the operational strategies for energy storage systems to ensure maximum charging simultaneity factor through internal power enhancement. The study uses a time-series analysis of EV demand, contrasting it with the battery’s SOC, to dynamically adjust charging and discharging actions within the constraints of the upstream infrastructure capacity. The model incorporates parameters such as maximum power capacity, energy storage capacity, and charging efficiencies, to reflect realistic conditions. Results indicate that real-time SOC monitoring, coupled with adaptive charging strategies, can mitigate peak demands and enhance the system’s responsiveness to fluctuating loads. This paper emphasizes the critical role of real-time data analysis in the effective management of energy resources in existing parking lots and lays the groundwork for developing intelligent grid-supportive frameworks in the context of growing EV adoption.

The increase in new energy grid connections has reduced the supply-side regulation capability of the power system. Traditional economic dispatch methods are insufficient for addressing the flexibility limitations in the system’s balancing capabilities. Consequently, this study presents a day-ahead scheduling method for renewable energy systems that balances flexibility and economy. This approach establishes a dual-layer optimized scheduling model. The upper-layer model focuses on the economic efficiency of unit start-up and shut-down, utilizing a particle swarm algorithm to identify unit combinations that comply with minimum start-up and shut-down time constraints. In contrast, the lower-layer model addresses the dual uncertainties of generation and load. It employs the Generalized Polynomial Chaos approximation to create an opportunity-constrained model aimed at minimizing unit generation and curtailment costs while maximizing flexibility supply capability. Additionally, it calculates the probability of flexibility supply-demand insufficiency due to uncertainties in demand response resource supply and system operating costs, providing feedback to the upper-layer model. Ultimately, through iterative solutions of the upper and lower models, a day-ahead scheduling plan that effectively balances flexibility and economy is derived. The proposed method is validated using a simulation of the IEEE 30-bus system case study, demonstrating its capability to balance system flexibility and economy while effectively reducing the risk of insufficient supply-demand balance.

In the context of the green energy transition, the rapid expansion of flexible resources such as distributed renewable energy, electric vehicles (EVs), and energy storage has significantly impacted the operation of distribution networks. This paper proposes a multi-objective optimization approach for active distribution networks (ADNs) based on analytical target cascading (ATC). Firstly, a dynamic optimal power flow (DOPF) calculation method is developed using second-order conic relaxation (SOCR) to address power flow and voltage issues in the distribution network, incorporating active management (AM) elements. Secondly, this study focuses on aggregating the power of flexible resources within station areas connected to distribution network nodes and incorporating these resources into demand response (DR) programs. Finally, a two-layer model for collaborative multi-objective scheduling between station areas and the active distribution network is implemented using the ATC method. Case studies demonstrate the model’s effectiveness and validity, showing its potential for enhancing the operation of distribution networks amidst the increasing integration of flexible resources.
