Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the rapid penetration of grid-connected renewable power sources, electric vehicles, energy storage devices, and smart loads, the power quality of distribution networks and standalone micro-grid systems is emerging as an increasingly critical issue. The power quality of power systems can be classified into transients, short-duration variation, long-duration variation, and waveform distortions. Power quality problems can be presented in the form of harmonics, resonances, unbalances, sags, flickers, voltage/frequency deviations, and so on. These problems deteriorate the reliability and security of the distribution network and standalone microgrid system, especially for critical loads. With the development of information and communication technology, advanced monitoring infrastructures, and integration of a more power-electronics-dominated distributed system, power quality can be better monitored and improved with advanced data processing methods and modern control strategies. The ability to provide a reliable power supply for critical loads in distribution networks and standalone microgrids can also be enhanced. These emerging technologies will impose a critical effect over the dynamic stability analysis, resilience, and power equality enhancement of grid-connected and standalone applications.
This Special Issue will focus on novel power electronic and power system technologies, including control strategies for devices in power-electronics-enabled power systems, control strategies for various kinds of operation resources in power systems, economic evaluation methods for power systems, data processing methods of power system operation data, and so on. Particular topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Frequency/voltage control strategies for EVs, energy storage devices, and smart loads;
- Data processing methods for the operation data of power systems;
- Optimal operation and planning models for energy storage devices in power systems;
- Advanced monitoring and control method for distributed renewable energy;
- Power quality enhancement in power-electronics-enabled power system;
- Novel techniques of monitoring and analysis of power quality problem;
- Control schemes for enhancing power quality;
- Advanced methods for power quality assessment.
