Advanced Data-Driven Methods and Applications for Smart Power and Energy Systems The rapid development of various renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, and energy storage technologies, as well as the integration of demand response, combined cooling, heating and power gas turbine, etc, have greatly changed the current power and energy production and consumption. In the meantime, advanced sensors, communication and control technologies have increased the potential for the economic and reliable operation of modern power and energy systems with the integration of the fluctuating renewable energies. A large amount of data can be collected from the generation side, the grid side and the demand side. How to effectively utilize the big data of all the entities to ensure energy adequacy, system security, reliability and stability, remains a great challenge for power and energy system researchers.
In the meantime, the implementation of various advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence technologies are essential to solving the planning, scheduling and control problems in the whole process of energy supply and demand. Data-driven techniques have been successfully developed and widely used to solve the classification, regression and clustering problems in the power and energy area, including generation and load forecasting, power and energy planning, economic dispatch, state estimation, situational awareness, stability evaluation, etc. Such problems are generally complicated and difficult to solve with traditional model-based techniques, such that advanced big data, machine learning and artificial intelligence techniques are required.
