Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As the part of the power system that directly supplies power to users, the stable and efficient operation of distribution networks is the basis for power supply reliability and a guarantee for the economic benefits of power grid companies. However, in recent years, the popularity of electric vehicles and the access to distributed generation and other equipment have made both the supply and demand sides of the distribution network more complex. They have also brought challenges to the low-loss and high-reliability operation of distribution networks. In addition, the external environment and special meteorological events also affect the work of distribution system operators. Therefore, it is necessary to discover additional methods to ameliorate the operation of distribution networks.
This Special Issue aims to attract papers and reviews about loss reduction and reliability improvement in distribution networks. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Distribution network reconfiguration;
- Application of novel power electronics technology in distribution networks;
- Optimized operation of distributed generation and energy storage equipment;
- Power data analysis and fault prediction;
- Grid interaction and coordinated control;
- Energy policy and technical standards;
- Smart circuit breakers and switches;
- Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology for plug-in electric vehicles;
- Demand response strategy.
