Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, new energy technologies have undergone a rapid development. However, due to the uncertainty in the output of new energy sources, the large-scale integration of these sources into the power grid poses significant challenges to the energy and power balance of the power system. Energy storage systems, with bidirectional power characteristics and flexible regulation capabilities, can help mitigate the fluctuations in new energy generation. Therefore, wind–photovoltaic–storage hybrid systems, incorporating wind power, solar power, and energy storage technologies, can effectively deal with this problem. Moreover, a wind–photovoltaic–storage hybrid system not only reduces the reliance on traditional fossil fuels and minimizes the impact on the environment, but it also enhances energy efficiency of utilization, making it a sustainably viable solution.

In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcomed. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following: management, operation and control of wind–photovoltaic–storage hybrid systems.

Modern power systems include synchronous generators (SGs) and inverter-based resources (IBRs) that provide fast frequency support (FFS) to the system. To evaluate the FFS ability of both SGs and IBRs under a unified framework, this paper proposes a method that evaluates the FFS ability of each generation unit via its dynamic trajectories of the active power output and the frequency following a contingency. The proposed method quantified FFS ability via two indexes, namely, the equivalent inertia constant and the equivalent droop, of each generation unit. The Tikhonov regularization algorithm is employed to estimate the FFS ability indexes. The New England 10-machine system serves to validate the feasibility and accuracy of the proposed method and illustrate the different FFS ability of the grid−forming and grid−following IBRs.

The decarbonization of the electricity grid is one of the actions that can help reduce fossil fuel emissions, and thus their impact on global warming in the future. This decarbonization will be achieved mainly through the integration and widespread diffusion of renewable power sources. This is also going to be supported by the shift from the paradigm of production–transmission–distribution, where electricity production oversees large-size power plants, to renewable-based distributed/diffused production, where electricity is generated very close or even by the same (group of) user(s) (or prosumers in the latter case). The number of mid-/small-size installations based on renewable energy technologies will therefore increase substantially, and the related renewable generation will be dominant against that from large-size power plants. Unfortunately, this will very likely reduce the reliability of the grid, unless appropriate countermeasures are taken/implemented, hopefully at the same time that the paradigm shift is being achieved. To this aim, it is important to identify the anomalies and main fault causes that might possibly affect some of the central renewable (wind, PV, hydrogen) and ancillary technologies that will be used to establish future renewable-based power systems. Accordingly, this paper presents a literature survey, also extending the focus to related datasets that can be used for deeper investigation. It is highlighted that the gaps mainly refer to a lack of a common taxonomy that prevents the establishment of structured knowledge in the scope of renewable-based power systems, a lack of contributions to anomalies/faults specific to wind turbines, and a lack of datasets related to electrolyzers, fuel cells, DC/x conversion, and monitoring and communication systems. Further, in the case of monitoring and communication systems, the scientific literature is both very dated, therefore not considering possible new aspects that would be currently worthy of investigation, and not oriented toward the particular domain addressed, thus considering peculiar aspects that are left out.
