The unlimited exploitation and utilization of fossil energy accelerates the excessive emission of carbon dioxide to exacerbate global warming. Hence, the development and utilization of alternative low carbon energy is becoming very promising. As a result, many optimization problems have been formulated and solved for saving fossil fuel cost and reducing energy waste in the power system and final energy use applications. However, most of the formulating problems display non-convex, multi-modal, non-smooth, or mixed integer features, posing significant challenges to system operators and energy users. Population-based search engines and evolutionary algorithms have some obvious advantages, such as imposing no restrictions on the problem formulation as well as conceptual and computational simplicity. Thus, evolutionary algorithms are promising, powerful tools for efficiently solving complicated problems involving smart grid or energy system scheduling to reduce carbon emissions.
This Research Topic intends to bring together the state-of-the-art evolutionary algorithms in dealing with the emerging problems in the field of complex modern power and energy systems. The submissions are encouraged to focus on smart grid scheduling with integration of new participants such as renewable generations, plug-in electric vehicles, distribution generations and energy storages, multiple time-special energy reductions, and other energy optimisation topics.
