Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Modern electric power and energy systems are undergoing a transition from unidirectional power supply patterns to multi-energy and multi-link collaboration. The developments of renewable energy sources and the integration of heterogeneous energies have further accelerated the revolution of energy structure and operational mode, which is considered an effective way to resolve the global energy crisis and reduce carbon emissions. This revolution is affecting and integrating various types of energy production and energy supply networks and consumption and is leading to the coordination of distributed energy systems at various scales from national, regional, urban, and community to buildings. This triggers the need for advanced power system and energy system structure designs, energy resource integration, and promising techniques in real-world applications.

Therefore, this Special Issue is intended for the presentation of new ideas, advanced theories, and experimental results in the field of modern energy system planning, operation scheduling, resilience enhancement, and multi-energy market architecture design, service, and theory in practical uses. Topics of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Aggregation schemes for DERs and energy storage units.
  • Flexible demand-response schemes to simulate the participation in energy systems.
  • Artificial intelligence applications in energy systems.
  • State estimation techniques in electric power and energy systems.
  • Protection and fault location in distribution networks.
  • Resilience and robust operation of energy systems.
  • Distributed multi-energy trading, market mechanisms, and business models.
  • Decarbonization technologies and approaches to IES planning and operation.

High-resistance faults in direct current (DC) microgrids are small and thus difficult to detect. Such faults may be “invisible” in that grid operation continues for a considerable time, which damages the grid. It is essential to detect and remove high-resistance faults; we present a detection method herein. First, the transient DC current during the fault is subjected to hierarchical wavelet decomposition to identify high-resistance faults accurately and sensitively; the wavelet coefficients are detected using the singular value decomposition (SVD) method. The SVD valve can denoise the dc microgrid fault current, which eliminates the influence of converter switching frequency and background noise effectively. Power system computer-aided design (PSCAD)/electromagnetic transients including direct current (EMTDC)-based simulations showed that our method successfully identified high-resistance faults.
