Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The  need for  low carbon emissions due to global climate change and the increasing energy consumed by social development promote the power grid transforming into a new stage by way of introducing extensive renewable energy and power electronic devices. However, with the influence of energy structure adjustment, the new power grid is facing some challenges. The randomness and intermittence of new energy sources lead to stability problems in the voltage and frequency of the power grid.  Meanwhile, the  inertia and damping of the power grid with massive power electronic equipment is reduced, leading to a vulnerable anti-disturbance capability of the grid.

To solve the above problems, the following solutions can be adopted.

  • Enhancing the intelligence level of the power grid on the basis of advanced information technology and artificial intelligence algorithms to conduct intelligent perception, data analysis, and optimal dispatching of the power grid to improve the stability and efficiency of the power system.
  • Establishing a sound energy management platform and early warning mechanism to monitor the operation status of the power system in real time, find problems in time, and take corresponding measures to improve the ability of power supply guarantee.

Technical papers are called for on any subject pertaining to the scope of  intelligent control technologies for high permeability renewable energies featured power grid ,  including, but not limited to, the following major topics:

  • Power flow optimization dispatching control for power grid;
  • Renewable energy grid-tied power quality management;
  • Grid-supporting and grid-forming technology, including virtual synchronous generator, synchronverter, rotating machine based equipment and control, etc.;
  • Power electronic converters and semiconductor device-related technologies in power grid application;
  • Multi-time-scale high precision prediction technology for electric loads and power generation;
  • Integrated energy planning and control considering carbon emission, economy, and stability;
  • Energy cyber-physical system;
  • Applications of block-chain and artificial intelligence technologies in smart grid;
  • Energy management platform.

Abstract
The transient responses of distributed energy resources (DERs) in a microgrid are dynamically correlated in spatial and temporal dimensions.

The transient responses of distributed energy resources (DERs) in a microgrid are dynamically correlated in spatial and temporal dimensions. Hence, the transient stability prediction in microgrids would require an effective modeling of time-varying correlations and the mining of spatial–temporal features of electrical data. This paper proposes a refined DER-level transient stability prediction method for microgrids considering the time-varying spatial–temporal correlations of DERs. First, the spatial–temporal dynamic correlation of DERs was extracted and modeled by an attention-based mechanism. Then, a spatial–temporal graph convolution network was proposed to predict the dynamics of unstable DERs and the instability severity trend in a microgrid. The TSP model consisted of three parts: (1) several stacked spatial–temporal convolution modules to simultaneously mine the spatial–temporal dynamic features of microgrids, (2) an unstable DER identification module to predict the microgrid system stability and identify unstable DERs, and (3) an instability severity trend prediction module for DERs in a microgrid. The test results on a realistic 16-bus 10-DER microgrid demonstrated that the proposed prediction method possessed the desirable reliability and interpretability and outperformed the state-of-the-art baselines in unstable DER identifications and DER instability severity trend predictions.
