Power System Modeling and Control, 2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

This Topic is a continuation of the previous successful Topic "Power System Modeling and Control”.

It aims at collecting innovative contributions related to the wide topic of power system modeling and control.

The ongoing transition to sustainable energy is giving rise to new challenges to guarantee the stability, resilience, and reliability of power systems and, therefore, the need of new approaches, techniques and methodology to accomplish this goal.

This topic will welcome innovative and high-quality contributions at power system level with a high level related but not limited to the following aspects:

• Approaches to integrate renewable energy sources into the power grid by contributing to voltage and frequency regulation;
• Innovative control architectures and energy management for battery energy storage systems;
• Innovative features of grid-feeding, grid-forming, and grid-supporting inverters to provide ancillary services to the electricity power systems;
• Innovative control approaches for microgrid operation, especially for islanded operation;
• Approaches to achieve suitable operation of power-electronics-dominated power systems;
• Exploitation of new forms of flexibility for the electrical system, exploiting new chains such as Power-to-X (P2X) and Vehicle-to-X (V2X), but also demand response, storage systems, and sector integration;
• Integration of the distribution system as an active player for power system operation;
• New planning procedures, involving stochastic and robust optimization algorithms, able to handle the intrinsic uncertainty of loads and generations;
• Development of “digital twins” of the electrical system based on real-time simulation approach, allowing Power Hardware-in-the-Loop (PHIL), Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) or Control-in-the-Loop (CIL);
• New modeling frameworks, investigating the electrical system as a complex and multi-layer system.
