Summary

The rapid integration of renewable energy is accelerating the development of new power systems, while also introducing significant variability, uncertainty, and operational complexity. The conventional load-following operation paradigm, in which generation is adjusted to meet load variations, is gradually evolving toward coordinated interactions among generation, networks, loads, and energy storage. This transition is further supported by flexible resources and technologies, such as energy storage systems, demand response, electric vehicles, vehicle-to-grid and vehicle-to-traction technologies, microgrids, virtual power plants, and distributed energy resources.


This Special Issue focuses on recent advances in the modelling, optimization, dispatch, control, and practical implementation of source-grid-load-storage coordination and multi-energy complementary operation. Contributions on multi-energy flow modelling, integrated energy system operation, coordinated dispatch of electricity-heat-gas-transport systems, energy storage and flexible load coordination, vehicle-grid-traction interaction, and practical engineering applications are particularly welcome.


Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
· Source-grid-load-storage coordinated dispatch under high penetration of renewable energy
· Coordinated operation of renewable generation, energy storage systems, and flexible loads in new power systems
· Planning, sizing, configuration, and control of energy storage systems for renewable energy accommodation
· Grid topology optimization, flexible resource allocation, and emergency dispatch under uncertain operating conditions
· Multi-energy flow modelling, coupling analysis, planning, and operation of integrated energy systems
· Coordinated dispatch of electricity-heat-gas-transport integrated energy systems
· Aggregation and coordinated control of virtual power plants, networked microgrids, and distributed energy resources
· Demand response, electric vehicles, and demand-side flexible resources for power system operation
· Vehicle-to-grid and vehicle-to-traction technologies for coordinated interaction among electric vehicles, power grids, and traction power systems
· Security, stability, risk assessment, and operational control of source-grid-load-storage coordinated systems
· Electricity market mechanisms, coordinated energy trading, and ancillary services for flexible resources
· Artificial intelligence, multi-agent reinforcement learning, and data-driven methods for multi-resource coordination
· Multi-energy complementary operation and economic dispatch of PV-storage-charging stations, industrial parks, transportation energy hubs, and integrated energy hubs
· Eco-friendly high-voltage switchgear, SF6 replacement technologies, switching transients, and arc modelling for secure and low-carbon grid operation
