About this Research Topic
The energy crisis has brought great challenges to the low-carbon and economic development of the energy system. To achieve net-zero emissions, energy systems can have an increasing penetration of renewable energy and a deep coupling of multiple energy sectors (i.e., electricity, gas, and heat). To deal with the increasing fluctuations of renewable energy in multi-energy systems, the market mechanism is an effective solution for the optimal allocation of resources. An optimal market design could stimulate different resources to actively assist the carbon reduction and reliability improvement of multi-energy systems. Therefore, research on low-carbon-oriented market design and optimal operation is expected to improve the reliability and sustainability of multi-energy systems.
The objective of this Research Topic is to explore the latest advances in market design and reliability improvement technologies of multi-energy systems with a focus on low-carbon, reliability, and resilience. We have the following research goals:
1. Effective market mechanisms and interaction frameworks to support the operation of energy systems.
2. Advanced operation and control methods for flexible resources, such as traditional units, energy storage, electric vehicles, electric hydrogen production, etc.
3. Advanced planning strategies and portfolio management for flexible resources in multi-energy systems.
4. Advanced evaluation methods for flexibility, resilience, and carbon emissions of energy systems.
5. Effective applications of integrated demand response in energy systems with new technical and economic models.
Original research and review articles in theoretical, methodological, or practical focuses, such as models, policies, algorithms, and applications, are all welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
• Low-carbon-oriented market mechanism
• Interaction framework designs for flexible resources
• Modeling and optimization technologies for multi-energy systems
• Evaluation methods for the system resilience, flexibility, and carbon emissions
• Operation, control, and planning methods of multi-energy systems
• Applications of artificial intelligence technology in reliability improvement
• Renewable energy prediction and integration
