Summary
Over the past decade, power systems worldwide have undergone a profound transformation driven by the rapid proliferation of renewable energy sources and the emergence of novel, high-demand loads. Photovoltaic arrays, wind farms, and other distributed generation units have shifted the conventional paradigm of centralized electricity production toward a more decentralized, variable landscape. At the same time, emerging loads, e.g., electric vehicle charging infrastructures, data centers, communication base stations, distributed energy storage systems, and flexible industrial processes, have introduced new patterns of consumption that can vary significantly over short timescales. This confluence of variable generation and dynamic demand is redefining how modern grids must be planned, operated, and controlled. Understanding the interactions between these elements is critical to ensuring reliability, efficiency, and stability as the power sector transitions toward a low-carbon future.
The special issue invites researchers, engineers, and industry professionals to contribute their latest findings, methodologies, and case studies.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
· Protection and control in grids with high inverter-based generation and bidirectional power flow
· Fault ride-through compliance and post-fault recovery strategies for DERs
· Fast and accurate islanding detection techniques for inverter-dominated feeders
· Control and stability analysis of grid-connected renewable energy and emerging loads
· Application of advanced optimization technologies for power system with renewable energy sources
· Integration of renewable energy and Hybrid AC/DC Grids
· Optimal dispatch and co-optimization of PV-Storage-EV charging hubs
· V2G control strategies for ancillary services
· Modeling and control of flexible industrial loads for demand-side participation
