Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues, 

Electrification is key to reaching deep decarbonization and curbing the worst impacts of climate change under the condition that there is ample and affordable clean energy on the grid to feed the growing demands. The switch to renewable generation is expected to rise buoyed by government policies, a growing investment pool, consumer preferences, and lowered costs. However, high renewable penetration can impose significant challenges for power system control and operation. The asynchronous and limited-inertia characteristics of the current-mode grid-connected converters can severely degrade the grid dynamic performance. The stochastic and intermittent nature can increase computation complexity in unit commitment and economic dispatch. Large-scale behind-the-meter (BTM) solar can alter the behaviour of the distribution systems and even transmission systems. Additionally, electrification in other sectors, such as transportation, can have a considerable impact on the electricity grid, which has not been fully investigated. This Special Issue aims to address these challenges and provide guidance for power system dynamics, control and operation in the pathway of grid decarbonization. 

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

  • Grid-interactive converter control to stabilize and enhance dynamic performance of bulk power systems and microgrids
  • Stochastic and robust unit commitment and economic dispatch
  • Virtual power plant technology
  • Energy storage system planning and operation for renewable energy accommodation and ancillary services
  • Transportation electrification and distribution system co-planning
  • Grid-interactive efficient buildings and connected communities
  • Large-scale BTM distributed energy resources integration for demand response
  • Market mechanism that considers the participation of distributed energy resources

The presence of the DC components in the grid voltage adversely affects the performance of the synchronization unit, causing oscillatory and offset errors in the estimated grid information. Several approaches were proposed to address the DC offset problem by incorporating an additional filtering stage to the synchronous reference frame phase-locked loop (SRF-PLL). Removing the DC offset using the modified delayed signal cancelation (MDSC) operator in the inner loop of the SRF-PLL shows a good DC offset elimination with a fast-dynamic response. However, neither a straightforward selection procedure for the MDSC parameters nor a general estimation technique for the grid information is provided. Hence, a generalization for the MDSC is proposed in this paper based on general mathematical expressions to cancel out the DC offset, while meanwhile estimating the grid parameters precisely and rapidly against any delay factor selection. Finally, comprehensive simulation and experimental results compared with other related PLLs are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed work. Full article

In this work, we present a three-stage multiobjective mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) for the optimal expansion planning and operation of isolated multienergy microgrids in remote areas. By selecting the optimal distributed generators (DGs) and energy storage systems (ESSs) mix selection, siting, sizing, and scheduling in the remote microgrid, the proposed model is targeted to minimize the annualized total cost of microgrids while enhancing the performance of the system, i.e., minimizing the voltage deviations and line power loss. To represent the electricity and heat flow between generation resources and various electrical, heating, and cooling loads in the isolated microgrid, linearized power flow, and heat flow constraints are employed in the proposed optimization model. The available capacity of DGs and ESSs are modeled as discrete constants instead of continuous variables for practical purpose. Numerical simulation results on a remote microgrid consisting of DGs, ESSs, and various loads validate the proposed method. Full article
