About this Research Topic
Over the past decade, significant breakthroughs have been achieved in renewable energy generation, operation, and control technology, greatly enhancing the safe operation and efficient utilization of renewable energy. However, as the penetration ratio of the renewable energy continues to grow, the characteristics of randomness, variability, weak inertia and damping have posed great challenges to the power generation, operation and control. There is an urgent need to provide efficient, safe and diverse technological choices for the construction of the renewable energy-dominated power system:
1) Improving the efficiency of renewable energy generation and transmission;
2) Increasing the capability of renewable energy to support and regulate the system voltage, frequency, and inertia, thus guaranteeing the security and stability operation of power systems;
3) Scaling up development of offshore wind power and distributed renewable energy in remote regions like Gobi Desert requires technological innovation for further development.
The goal of this Research Topic aims to advance the key techniques related to the generation and transmission of renewable energy, including the converter topology, control strategy, reliability assessment, stability analysis, network topology, and etc., to promote the safe operation and efficient utilization of renewable energy and construct the renewable energy-dominated power systems. The Research Topic on the renewable energy development relates to multiple disciplines, such as the electrical engineering, the energy and power engineering, the computer and control science, the artificial intelligence (AI) science. It can provide a platform to facilitate interdisciplinary studies and share the most recent ideas in the related fields.
The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
1) Grid-following and grid-forming type control of renewable energy system;
2) Emerging converter circuit topology and control strategy;
3) Novel transmission technologies, including the high voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission system and fractional frequency transmission system (FFTS);
4) Reliability and stability of the power conversion system;
5) Artificial intelligence (AI) applications for modeling, control and optimization of converters and systems;
6) (Hybrid) energy storage techniques for renewable energy-dominated power system;
7) Harmonic and stability analysis of power electronics-based power system;
8) Active coordination control on renewable energy-dominated power system (voltage & frequency & inertia support and regulation);
9) Control of grid power electronics system in the unbalanced and distorted power grid;
10) Topology for renewable energy generation and transmission;
11) Power efficiency optimization and improvement methods for the power converter and network system.
