Special Issue Information

Dear Colleague,

To fully integrate and utilize distributed energy resources, modern power systems need to transition from traditional centralized structures to more distributed and decentralized structures. Microgrid (MG) systems, as a local small-scale power systems, can manage their power supply, distributed generation, energy storage, and loads autonomously within given operational boundaries. However, enormous challenges have also been brought into microgrids, considering the complex operation scenarios, low inertia, system dynamic coupling, and randomness characteristics of renewable energies. As a result, advanced optimization and control technologies are vital to ensure the stability and optimal operation of MG systems. This Special Issue aims to explore the diverse applications of optimization and control technologies in MG systems and analyze the MG operation characteristics and stability mechanism. The potential findings will deepen understandings of MG system characteristics, enhance system stability, and achieve an optimal operation.

We invite researchers to submit original research papers, reviews, and technical notes. The manuscripts should present innovative methodologies, explore theoretical findings, and showcase practical applications that contribute to the optimal operation, control strategy design, and stability mechanism study of MG systems.

The main topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

  1. Optimal operation for the cost reduction of microgrid systems;
  2. Market design for microgrid systems;
  3. Optimal planning for microgrid systems;
  4. Optimal energy management in multi-energy microgrid systems;
  5. Distributed optimization strategy for microgrid systems;
  6. Hierarchical control structure for microgrid systems;
  7. Stability analysis and stability-enhancement control in microgrid systems;
  8. Advanced distributed control in microgrid systems;
  9. Advanced control strategies for cyber-attacks in microgrid systems.
