About this Research Topic
The integration of Renewable Energy Systems (RESs) has been increasing during the past few decades, which plays a crucial role in the distribution systems for grid modernization. However, due to the intermittency of the RESs, certain challenges remain, which lead to complexity and instability in such systems. On the other hand, the roles of transmission and distribution systems are increasingly migrating from small-scale to large-scale. Considering migration, uncertainties, and highly-disruptive events, ancillary services can dramatically help to stabilize the electricity infrastructure. Further, ancillary services are one of several operations on the electricity infrastructures needed to balance supply and demand. It can uphold the voltage and frequency within the safe range to prevent the grid's short-term or long-term power outage. Furthermore, it can offer a stable, efficient, and secure electricity infrastructure, which allows it to penetrate renewable energies up to 100% and eventually meet the NetZero target.
Several significant new ancillary services have been developed in recent decades to deal with these challenges. However, advanced technologies are still needed to cope with uncertainties, such as: extreme events like natural disasters; cyber-attacks; and other potential threats. Therefore, this Research Topic aims to attract leading researchers in the area of potential recommendations of ancillary services which can be offered by 100% renewable-powered electricity infrastructure.
Papers of various kinds on the following themes of interest are encouraged to be submitted to this Research Topic:
• Voltage and reactive power support,
• Frequency-active power control,
• Fault ride-through capability,
• Protection coordination,
• Harmonic mitigation,
• Fast storage systems,
• Energy storage systems,
• Virtual power plants,
• Black-start services,
• Contingency reserves,
• High-performance converters,
• Grid following and grid forming inverters,
• Electric vehicle integration.
