Recent power outages have caused severe loss of life and property, such as major cities experiencing power failures after an accident at a large power plant this March in Taiwan. This unexpectedly large power outage affected five million homes. The failure of two significant transmission lines in Mexico resulted in a national imbalance of supply and demand and, eventually, a loss of 8.7 GW of generation capacity in January 2021. Actually, high-quality voltage and frequency supplied by the power system rely on the reliable, stable and resilient operation and control in a modern power grid. Therefore, it is crucial to develop state-of-the-art technologies for operation and control in the modern smart power system.
Recently, the power system associated with distributed generation resources, energy storage systems, electric vehicles (EV), advanced meter infrastructure (AMI), cyber/physical and IoT technologies receives more attention. Studies on Smart Electric Power Systems become extremely important. “Operation and Control in Smart Electric Power Systems: Methods and Applications” is a Research Topic in Frontiers in Energy Research for those who hope to publish their original works about the cutting-edge technology for operating and control in the power system. This Research Topic aims at important methods, applications and results of proposed work in the power grids. The submitted manuscripts can be applied to study, methodology, or novel approaches.
Papers in the areas of “Operation and Control in Smart Electric Power Systems: Methods and Applications”, including but not limited to the following, are invited:
1. Design and control of FACTS devices
2. Resiliency enhancement using energy storage and distrusted generation
3. System monitoring using wide-area phasor measurement units
4. Application of evolutionary optimization
5. Application of machine/deep learning algorithms
6. Blockchain Application in operation or energy transactions
7. Digital twin applied to power system control
8. Application of AIoT for control and monitoring
