In recent years, carbon emission reduction has become a global consensus as the global warming effect continues to expand, and the power industry is the most important part of carbon emission reduction. Significant changes have occurred in the power business during the last two decades, and worldwide electricity demand is expanding at its fastest rate in history. However, the conflict between energy and environmental protection has grown in prominence, posing a threat to global sustainable growth in the future. The development of smart grids and distributed energy may bring a definitive answer to the global energy dilemma as well as modern society's long-term sustainability.
The power industry's decarbonization is a critical step in reducing climate change's effects. A high number of distributed energy resources(DERs), especially renewable energy, access to the power grid is required to achieve decarbonization of the power sector, but this will result in a demand response that is random and volatile, endangering the power grid's safe and stable operation. DERs, including distributed generation and distributed energy storage, will be an effective solution for providing the flexibility needed to integrate high renewable energy penetrations. This research topic aims to explore the solution of large-scale DERs grid connection in the context of the smart grid. The development of a modern power grid currently faces problems such as how to integrate DERs, establish a reasonable power system scheduling optimization model of grid-connected renewable energy power generation, and solve the negative impact of renewable energy and a large number of power electronic equipment on the power grid. Perspectives and Review papers are welcome to this Research Topic.
The subtopics include (but are not limited to) the following:
1. Novel frameworks for grid connection of DERs.
2. Novel modeling and control methods for DERs.
3. DERs cooperative operation theory considering TSO/DSO cooperation.
4. Demand Side Management/Demand response with DERs.
5. Economy and feasibility of large-scale DERs grid connection.
6. Market supervision mechanism and energy trading mechanism for grid connected DERs.
7. Blockchain, IoT, and other emerging information and communication technologies for the operation of smart grids with DERs.
8. Energy storage and electric vehicles for the integration of DERs.
