Special Session I
New Solutions for Smart Grids with High-Penetration Distributed Energy Resources
Development and utilization of distributed energy resources (DERs) is an inevitable choice to solve environmental pollution and ensure sustainable energy supply. DERs are physical and virtual assets that are deployed across the distribution grid, typically close to load, which can be used individually or in aggregate to provide services to the grid, individual customers, or both. However, the growing penetration of DERs will pose huge challenges in planning, operation, and management of today’s power grids. Meanwhile, new emerging techniques, such as μPMUs and virtual power plants, provide more regulatory means available for enabling higher penetration of DERs.
This special session aims to cover technical issues in the planning, operation, and management in modern energy supply nexus for promoting clean and sustainable energy supply. The session solicits original research papers that target at innovative methods and techniques for power systems with high-penetration DERs.
The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
• New methods and techniques for addressing uncertainties of DERs
• Cyber security for DERs
• Application of DER techniques for enhancing power system resilience
• Applications of μPMUs in distribution systems
• Planning and operation of active distribution networks/hybrid renewable energy systems
• Integrated energy systems
• Virtual power plants (VPPs) and demand response for the integration of DERs
• Energy storage and electric vehicles for the integration of DERs
• Application of artificial intelligence to support the operation of smart grids with DERs
• Federated learning for smart grid applications with high-penetration DERs
