About this Research Topic
Rapid advancement of various renewable energies including wind and solar energies, as well as advanced energy storage technologies dramatically change the current energy structure. Particularly, a power system is a large non-linear and dynamic power grid, thus it is critical to solve strong inherent randomness and uncertainty in current power grids with large-scale renewable energy integration, to guarantee their economic and stable operation. Meanwhile, the development of advanced technologies and novel methods using state-of-the-art computer science and artificial intelligence to deal with problems in the smart grid is essential, which has successfully achieved significant development and widespread applications in various energy systems to solve complex non-linear problems.
Hence, the exploitation and implementation of various advanced optimization and control techniques to deal with such problems are critical for efficiency and stability enhancement, including frequency regulation, voltage support, converter control, parameter/state identification and estimation, MPPT design, planning and dispatching, power and load forecast, etc. Such optimization/control problems are generally complex and difficult to model and analyse, such that advanced techniques are required.
