Topical Collection Information

Dear Colleagues,

Modern life as we know it has provided an unprecedented level of comfort and security in the history of human societies. In the beginning of the 20th century, the world began to take advantage of electric power availability as one of the main driving forces for the accelerated economic development in the ensuing decades. Since then, electric power technology has not stopped evolving. While in the past, power generation was concentrated on hydroelectric resources and on burning fossil fuels, other forms of renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power have since emerged to play a significant role in the worldwide power generation mix. This in turn is changing the electrical power grid organization into new forms such as nanogrids, microgrids, DC microgrids, autonomous, islanded, and remote networks. Furthermore, new protection and control schemes have been designed or updated to face the advent of distributed energy grids to guarantee full operation and flexibility in AC/DC microgrids. The ongoing paradigm change is also raising serious concerns with regard to cyberattacks on future smart power systems, which rely heavily on a complex communication infrastructure to optimize distributed generation resources at different levels of integration and network size.

This Collection aims to collect review papers that contribute with a renewed perspective in the area of electrical power and energy systems.

Recent advancements in network-connected devices have led to a rapid increase in the deployment of smart devices and enhanced grid connectivity, resulting in a surge in data generation and expanded deployment to the edge of systems. Classic cloud computing infrastructures are increasingly challenged by the demands for large bandwidth, low latency, fast response speed, and strong security. Therefore, edge computing has emerged as a critical technology to address these challenges, gaining widespread adoption across various sectors. This paper introduces the advent and capabilities of edge computing, reviews its state-of-the-art architectural advancements, and explores its communication techniques. A comprehensive analysis of edge computing technologies is also presented. Furthermore, this paper highlights the transformative role of edge computing in various areas, particularly emphasizing its role in power systems. It summarizes edge computing applications in power systems that are oriented from the architectures, such as power system monitoring, smart meter management, data collection and analysis, resource management, etc. Additionally, the paper discusses the future opportunities of edge computing in enhancing power system applications.
