Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The deployment of renewable energy and multi-energy sources has become a crucial aspect of sustainable development worldwide. Renewable energy sources, such as solar, wind, and hydro, are increasingly being integrated into existing power systems to meet the growing energy demands while reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Effective utilization of these renewable and multi-energy resources necessitates advanced power electronic converters that can efficiently manage the conversion, control, and integration of power from various sources.

However, their deployment can be challenging due to various issues. This Special Issue of the Energies journal aims to explore the integration of renewable energy and multi-energy sources within the context of power electronic converter topologies, control strategies, policies, regulations, and standards. The deployment of renewable and multi-energy resources presents both opportunities and challenges, and this Special Issue seeks to examine the various aspects related to their successful integration.

The Special Issue aims to provide insights into the various approaches taken by different countries and regions to promote renewable and multi-energy resources and identify challenges and opportunities for their successful deployment. The issue also encourages interdisciplinary research that explores the integration of renewable energy and multi-energy sources within the context of power electronic converter topologies, control strategies, policies, regulations, and standards, market dynamics, technological innovation, and socio-economic factors. The Special Issue aims to contribute to the knowledge base on integrating renewable energy and multi-energy sources that support a sustainable future.

This Special Issue invites original research articles, review papers, and case studies that delve into the advancements and challenges in power electronic converter topologies and control strategies. We also encourage contributions focusing on policy frameworks, regulatory measures, and standards that facilitate the successful integration of renewable energy and multi-energy sources.

Topics of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to:

  • Advanced power electronic converter topologies for renewable energy integration;
  • Control strategies for efficient energy conversion and management;
  • Grid integration techniques for renewable energy sources;
  • Multi-energy system integration and optimization;
  • Power quality issues and mitigation techniques in integrated energy systems;
  • Economic and environmental impact assessment of integrated energy systems;
  • Policy frameworks, regulations, and standards for renewable energy integration;
  • Case studies and real-world applications in the field of multi-energy integration.

We invite researchers, academics, and industry professionals to contribute their original research and insights to this Special Issue. Manuscripts will undergo a rigorous peer-review process to ensure the highest quality of published articles.

Battery energy storage (BES) can provide many grid services, such as power flow management to reduce distribution grid overloading. It is desirable to minimise BES storage capacities to reduce investment costs. However, it is not always clear how battery sizing is affected by battery siting and power flow simultaneity (PFS). This paper describes a method to compare the battery capacity required to provide grid services for different battery siting configurations and variable PFSs. The method was implemented by modelling a standard test grid with artificial power flow patterns and different battery siting configurations. The storage capacity of each configuration was minimised to determine how these variables affect the minimum storage capacity required to maintain power flows below a given threshold. In this case, a battery located at the transformer required 10–20% more capacity than a battery located centrally on the grid, or several batteries distributed throughout the grid, depending on PFS. The differences in capacity requirements were largely attributed to the ability of a BES configuration to mitigate network losses. The method presented in this paper can be used to compare BES capacity requirements for different battery siting configurations, power flow patterns, grid services, and grid characteristics.

With the growing cyber-infrastructure of smart grids, the threat of cyber-attacks has intensified, posing an increased risk of compromised communication links. Of particular concern is the false data injection (FDI) attack, which has emerged as a highly dangerous cyber-attack targeting smart grids. This paper addresses the limitations of the variable dummy value model proposed in the authors previous work and presents a novel defense methodology called the nonlinear function-based variable dummy value model for the AC power flow network. The proposed model is evaluated using the IEEE 14-bus test system, demonstrating its effectiveness in detecting FDI attacks. It has been shown that previous detection techniques are unable to detect FDI attacks, whereas the proposed method is shown to be successful in the detection of such attacks, guaranteeing the security of the smart grid’s measurement infrastructure.
