With global awareness and concern for environmental and energy issues, achieving carbon peak and neutrality becomes a common mission of all humankind. As an important carrier of energy consumption, power systems are undergoing profound changes. Towards the development of low-carbon networks, the most prominent change in the power systems is the large-scale integrations of renewable energy. Meanwhile, the intermittency and uncertainty of renewable energy bring new operational features and challenges, demanding a more intelligent and reliable grid. Therefore, flexible resources are highly desired, whether from the source side, the grid side, or the demand side. It is a precious topic to explore and utilize various flexible resources for low-carbon power systems.
Regarding the significance of power system flexibility, researchers from both academic and industrial fields are paying more attention to flexibility exploration and utilization. Besides the regulation capability from the generation side, the flexibility of the networks and demand sides has been widely discussed in recent years. Correspondingly, quantities of research progress and findings have emerged. To provide a public platform to share, discuss, and inspire related research, the topic of “Advances in Flexibility Exploration and Utilization for Low Carbon Power Systems” is launched in the journal Frontiers in Energy Research. By organizing this topic, we hope that new research contributions can be promoted, leading to the realization of low-carbon power systems and a green future.
The topic of “Advances in Flexibility Exploration and Utilization for Low Carbon Power Systems” calls for high-quality research articles with highlighted contributions. Original research papers, industrial practices, reviews, opinions, and perspectives are all welcomed. This topic covers all the flexibility exploration and utilization in the generation, transmission, distribution, and consumption sections of power systems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
• Flexibility resources mining
• Flexibility of resources allocation and coordination
• Power system planning, operation, and control considering flexibility
• State perception and flexibility evaluation
• Technology for flexibility utilization of hydropower and thermal power
• Utilization of grid-connected electric energy storage
• Micro-grid and its flexibility
• Demand side management, including modeling, aggregation, and demand response
• Collaborative electric vehicle integration, including V2G, planning, and operation
• Flexibility by electricity markets, including policy, strategy, and management
