This special issue of the IEEE Transactions on Control of Network Systems (TCNS) contains original contributions which identify and solve the emerging challenges in power systems and, more generally, in complex energy networks. Thirty papers were…
Implementing voluntary Demand Response (DR) in real-time or close to real-time is technically feasible because of the deployment of smart grid infrastructures such as smart meters, remote control units, and mobile communication devices. However, most…
The increasing penetration of behind-the-meter distributed energy resources opens up opportunities to improve distribution grids’ resilience and reliability. In this context, the paper studies islanded operation of radial low-voltage (LV)…
Resilience is defined as the ability of the power system to maintain a desirable level of performance against severe turbulence and restore over an appropriate period of time. Adverse weather conditions and natural disasters have always led to…
Microgrids have been considered an essential component for improving the efficiency, resilience and reliability of the evolving electric power grid. Their modularity adds to the operational flexibility of the system in addition to provision for…
The increased infusion of non-linear devices, Distributed Energy Resources (DERs), and Plug-in Electric Vehicles (PEVs) into the Smart Grid system has resulted in network imbalance, increased power loss, and decreased power stability. This, in turn,…
This paper presents the performance evaluation of a net load management (NLM) engine that balances load and generation in an isolated community to power a critical facility after a grid interruption event (e.g., the loss of a large generation unit).…
Manifa Central Processing Facility (CPF), the fifth largest oil field in the world, is connected by 25 manmade islands and 20 kilometers of causeways. The current production capacity of heavy crude oil at the CPF is 500,000 barrels per day (bpd). The…
This paper presents a collaborative optimal scheduling strategy for regional integrated energy system (RIES) with electric power subsystem (EPS) and natural gas subsystem (NGS). The objective function is first established to perform the optimal…
The proliferation of power-to-gas technology can propound a tailored platform to physically integrate power systems and natural gas grids. These integrated energy systems with different spatial-temporal properties not only could provide significant…
In order to promote the development of low-carbon economy, the proportion of renewable energy in the power system increases, providing clean and cheap power resources for the society. However, the intermittency and volatility of its power output…
The micro turbine (MT) is scheduled to catch up wind power uncertainty and thus lead to great variations in the state of natural gas system (NGS). To meet this challenge, firstly, a dynamic model of gas-electricity combined system with wind power is…
The destruction of the atmosphere are the reasons for worldwide increase temperature. This problem come from utilization of petroleum fuel electrification. The increased use of clean power to replace petroleum can slow the destruction of the…
With increased research, usage, and production, the cost of battery storage technology has significantly decreased in recent years, to the point where real economic benefit can sometimes result. This paper begins by providing a primer on battery…
Power systems with large scale integration of inverter interfaced generation plants become vulnerable to short term frequency instability. The short term frequency stability is related to limiting the RoCoF and frequency nadir within acceptable…
This paper discusses the implementation of a transient stability model of Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) systems in a power system analysis package. A block-diagram based model of a two-machine CAES system is proposed, including specific…
The distributed energy system is used as the prototype of the energy Internet, including a variety of forms of energy networks, plenty of distributed equipment and energy storage equipment composed of energy flow, and real-time communication and data…
A generic mixed integer linear programming (MILP) model has been developed in this work with the objective of determining the optimal operational scheduling of a power system characterized by significant penetration of intermittent renewable energy…
The strengthening of electric energy security and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions have gained enormous momentum in previous decades. The integration of large-scale intermittent renewable energy resources (RER) like wind energy into the…
In the recent decade, a significant increase in the penetration level of renewable energy sources (RESs) into the distribution grid is evident due to the world's shift towards clean energy and to increase the reliability or inboard manner resiliency…
