To realize low-carbon energy systems, a large number of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs), including distributed energy storage systems, electric vehicles, and flexible loads, have been integrated into power grids, from transmission systems to distribution networks. System reliability, therefore, faces significant challenges due to the intermittency of DERs. With the digitization of power systems, advanced metering infrastructures (AMI) and Internet of Things (IoT) devices are now being widely deployed. With a huge amount of real-time information about the system and end-user status now available, DERs aggregation draws increasing attention from both academia and industry and is expected to facilitate the operation of low-carbon energy systems.
To build low-carbon energy systems using advances in information and communication technology that facilitate the operation of DERs near end-users on the distribution network. Maximizing the use of distributed energy resources through aggregation and various control paradigms, including distributed optimization, centralized control, and hierarchical control methods.
This research topic invites original research papers focusing on topics of interest, including but not limited to the following:
1. Novel modeling and control methods for DERs aggregation
2. Blockchain, IoT, and other emerging information and communication technologies for the operation of DER
3. Artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques for the operation of DERs
4. Novel frameworks for deploying large-scale DERs
5. Aggregating DERs for grid resilience, system restoration, inertia support, etc.
6. Aggregating DERs for voltage regulation, frequency regulation, ancillary services, etc.
7. Analyzing the impact of aggregating DERs with various objectives.
