Abstract In the background of the low-carbon transformation of the energy structure, the problem of operational uncertainty caused by the high proportion of renewable energy sources and diverse loads in the integrated energy systems (IES) is becoming increasingly obvious. In this case, to promote the low-carbon operation of IES and renewable energy consumption, and to improve the IES anti-interference ability, this paper proposes an IES scheduling strategy that considers CCS-P2G and concentrating solar power (CSP) station. Firstly, CSP station, gas hydrogen doping mode and variable hydrogen doping ratio mode are applied to IES, and combined with… More >

Abstract With the development of integrated power and gas distribution systems (IPGS) incorporating renewable energy sources (RESs), coordinating the restoration processes of the power distribution system (PS) and the gas distribution system (GS) by utilizing the benefits of RESs enhances service restoration. In this context, this paper proposes a coordinated service restoration framework that considers the uncertainty in RESs and the bi-directional restoration interactions between the PS and GS. Additionally, a coordinated service restoration model is developed considering the two systems’ interdependency and the GS’s dynamic characteristics. The objective is to maximize the system resilience index… More >

Abstract Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) has been utilized as a useful tool for solving intricate optimization problems for various applications in different fields. This paper attempts to carry out an update on PSO and gives a review of its recent developments and applications, but also provides arguments for its efficacy in resolving optimization problems in comparison with other algorithms. Covering six strategic areas, which include Data Mining, Machine Learning, Engineering Design, Energy Systems, Healthcare, and Robotics, the study demonstrates the versatility and effectiveness of the PSO. Experimental results are, however, used to show the strong and More >

Abstract Renewable Energy Systems (RES) provide a sustainable solution to climate warming and environmental pollution by enhancing stability and reliability through status acquisition and analysis on cloud platforms and intelligent processing on edge servers (ES). However, securely distributing encrypted data stored in the cloud to terminals that meet decryption requirements has become a prominent research topic. Additionally, managing attributes, including addition, deletion, and modification, is a crucial issue in the access control scheme for RES. To address these security concerns, a trust-based ciphertext-policy attribute-based encryption (CP-ABE) device access control scheme is proposed for RES (TB-CP-ABE). This… More >

Abstract When designing solar systems and assessing the effectiveness of their many uses, estimating sun irradiance is a crucial first step. This study examined three approaches (ANN, GA-ANN, and ANFIS) for estimating daily global solar radiation (GSR) in the south of Algeria: Adrar, Ouargla, and Bechar. The proposed hybrid GA-ANN model, based on genetic algorithm-based optimization, was developed to improve the ANN model. The GA-ANN and ANFIS models performed better than the standalone ANN-based model, with GA-ANN being better suited for forecasting in all sites, and it performed the best with the best values in the… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Hot dry rock (HDR) is rich in reserve, widely distributed, green, low-carbon, and has broad development potential and prospects. In this paper, a distributionally robust optimization (DRO) scheduling model for a regionally integrated energy system (RIES) considering HDR co-generation is proposed. First, the HDR-enhanced geothermal system (HDR-EGS) is introduced into the RIES. HDR-EGS realizes the thermoelectric decoupling of combined heat and power (CHP) through coordinated operation with the regional power grid and the regional heat grid, which enhances the system wind power (WP) feed-in space. Secondly, peak-hour loads are shifted using price demand response guidance More >

Abstract Photovoltaic (PV) systems are environmentally friendly, generate green energy, and receive support from policies and organizations. However, weather fluctuations make large-scale PV power integration and management challenging despite the economic benefits. Existing PV forecasting techniques (sequential and convolutional neural networks (CNN)) are sensitive to environmental conditions, reducing energy distribution system performance. To handle these issues, this article proposes an efficient, weather-resilient convolutional-transformer-based network (CT-NET) for accurate and efficient PV power forecasting. The network consists of three main modules. First, the acquired PV generation data are forwarded to the pre-processing module for data refinement. Next, to… More >

Abstract The transition of the global economy to a low-carbon development path has led to dramatic changes in the organization and functioning of energy markets around the world, where hybrid energy systems (HESs) are one of the decisive active agents. At the same time, a number of problems facing the modern HESs are primarily due to the stochastic nature of the renewable energy they use, require further profound changes not only in the technologies they use and how they manage them, necessary to meet the needs of end consumers and interact with the unified energy system,… More >

Abstract A distributed generation system (DG) has several benefits over a traditional centralized power system. However, the protection area in the case of the distributed generator requires special attention as it encounters stability loss, failure re-closure, fluctuations in voltage, etc. And thereby, it demands immediate attention in identifying the location & type of a fault without delay especially when occurred in a small, distributed generation system, as it would adversely affect the overall system and its operation. In the past, several methods were proposed for classification and localisation of a fault in a distributed generation system.… More >
