Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Energy management systems (EMSs) are responsible for delivering an optimal energy scheduling strategy in day-ahead and real-time power markets. An energy management system supports a reliable power grid, maximizes the penetration of renewable energy, and optimizes the cost and economic efficiency associated with the electricity market. To achieve both economic and environmental benefits, EMSs are used to solve dispatch optimization problems for the available production and storage capacity given the market data, real-time state, and operational constraints of the power grid, production, and consumption forecasting information. However, the intermittency and uncertainties caused by the high penetration of renewables and flexible loads pose critical challenge to EMSs.

The aim of this Special Issue is to present the emerging techniques and latest results of EMSs in modern power systems, laying the foundation for future hybrid electrified systems with renewable energies. Presentations and research papers are welcome to be submitted, and the topics of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Optimal operation and control strategies for enhancing power system flexibility;
  • Renewable generation and integration techniques in distributed microgrids;
  • Energy storage techniques in electrified power systems;
  • Energy management and economic operation of distributed microgrids;
  • Resilience and security techniques for multi-energy systems;
  • Coordinated operation and communication for transportation electrification systems;
  • Energy routers and power converter topology and design;
  • Advanced controller design for electrified transportation systems;
  • Intelligent algorithms for multi-energy systems;
  • AI techniques and application in EMS;
  • Digital control techniques in power systems;
  • Real-time simulation testing for electrified transportation systems.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

The present study aims to describe the potential sources of energy in Peru with the purpose of implementing them to achieve a sustainable system, taking advantage of the natural resources in the Peruvian land. To achieve this, three alternative scenarios have been defined and analyzed using the LEAP (Long-range Energy Alternatives Planning) software [Software Version: 2020.1.112]. The scenarios are as follows: the first one, the Business-as-Usual scenario, is based on normal trends according to historical data and referencing projections made by Peruvian state entities; the second one is focused on Energy Efficiency, the highlighted characteristic is taking into consideration the efficient conditions in transmission and distribution of electric energy; and the third one, centered on Geothermal Energy, focused on the development of this type of energy source and prioritizing it. The primary purpose of this analysis is to identify the advantages and disadvantages inherent in each scenario in order to obtain the best out of each one. In this way, the intention is to propose solutions based on Peru’s national reality or possible uses of the country’s energy potential to supply its energy demand. Currently, Peru’s energy demand relies on fossil fuels, hydraulic, and thermal energy. However, there is the possibility of transforming this system into a sustainable one by strengthening existing and growing energy sources such as solar and wind energy and new technologies for hydraulic and thermal energy, in addition to considering geothermal energy as the main energy source in the third scenario. The new system mentioned satisfactorily indicates that the CO2 equivalent emissions decrease significantly in the third scenario, with a 15.8% reduction compared to the first scenario and a 9.7% reduction in comparison to the second. On the other hand, the second scenario shows a 5.6% decrease in CO2 emissions compared to the first, resulting from improvements in technology and energy efficiency without requiring significant modifications or considerable investments, as in the third scenario.
