Evolution of Power Systems and Energy Management

The field of power systems and energy management is witnessing significant developments, driven by the increasing adoption of renewable energy sources, distributed generation, and emerging prosumer households. A key direction in this field is the advancement of energy management systems, which manage and apply flexibility of connected devices to optimize grid capacity and operation. Researchers are exploring innovative approaches, such as discrete event modeling and data-driven techniques, to improve the accuracy and efficiency of energy management and load modeling. Another area of focus is the development of new technologies and infrastructure, including real-time energy monitoring systems and asynchronous grid connections, to support the integration of distributed energy resources and provide fast-frequency response. Notably, some papers are making significant contributions to the field, including:

  • A paper proposing a general methodology for determining the change of variable matrix transformation for various converter arrangements, which enhances the understanding of converter topologies and their degrees of freedom.
  • A study presenting an integration study for a power electronic-based fast-frequency response technology, demonstrating its technical feasibility and techno-economic viability.
