Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In order to reduce carbon emissions, power system rely heavily on increasing amounts of renewable energy resources and energy storages. Renewable energy resources have significantly changed the operation and control practices. Modeling and optimization of renewable energy technologies play an important role in achieving their optimal operation and integration within sustainable energy systems. By accurately representing the complex behavior and interactions of various components (e.g., renewable energy resources, energy storage systems, power grid, and loads) researchers and practicing engineers can better understand the performance, operation, and control of sustainable energy systems.

The aim of this Special Issue is to investigate the modeling and optimization of renewable energy technologies in sustainable energy systems. We invite researchers and experts from academia and industry to contribute their original research work, innovative methodologies, and case studies in this field to this special issue.

Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to:

  • Modeling and simulation of sustainable energy systems including real-time models;
  • Energy storage technologies and control of sustainable energy systems;
  • Demand response and management strategies for sustainable energy systems;
  • Sustainable energy systems control and operation;
  • Photovoltaic power and wind power generation forecasting.

This paper presents a dynamic-phasor-based, average-value modeling method for power systems with extensive converter-tied subsystems. In the proposed approach, the overall system model is constructed using modular functions, interfacing both conventional and converter-tied resources. Model validation is performed against detailed Electro-Magnetic Transient (EMT) simulations. The analytical capabilities offered by the proposed modeling method are demonstrated on a modified IEEE 9-bus system. A Graphics Processing Unit (GPU)-based parallel computing approach for the solution of the resulting model is presented and exemplified on a modified IEEE 118-bus system, showing significant improvements in computing efficiency over EMT solvers. A co-simulation approach using a Central Processing Unit (CPU) and a GPU is also presented and exemplified using a modified version of the IEEE 118-bus system, demonstrating the model’s parallelization.

The wind abandonment phenomenon of cogeneration units in regional integrated energy systems (RIES) under the operation mode of “heat for electricity” and the improvement in the operation efficiency of the energy storage system under a low-temperature environment are problems that need to be solved urgently. To this end, a regional integrated energy system optimization scheduling method based on fine energy storage and wind power consumption is proposed in the paper. First, a fine energy storage model more adapted to a low-temperature environment is established on the power side to accurately simulate the actual working state of the energy storage components and quantify the uncertainty of the wind power output using the conditional value-at-risk (CVaR) theory. Then, a combined heat and power demand response mechanism is introduced on the load side to reduce the peak-to-valley difference in the heat and power loads, it is realized to promote the system’s consumption of wind power without increasing the transmission power of the contact line. Finally, the example is solved on the MATLAB platform with the objective of minimizing the total cost of the RIES optimal dispatch. The simulation results show that the proposed model is not only more adaptable to a low-temperature environment compared with the traditional model but also reduces the overall cost of the system by 2.58% while realizing the complete consumption of wind power. This innovative study provides a feasible and efficient solution to improve the performance of integrated energy systems, especially the operation capability in extreme environments. Full article
