Motivation and Scope:
Contemporary investigations in the power and energy sector are focused on advancing smart grid (SG) technologies. Microgrids (MGs), recognized as fundamental components of SG, have been extensively studied for over a decade and a half. They serve as integration platforms for microsources (MSs), loads, storage devices, and power electronics (PE) converters at demand sites, forming a system of systems (SoS) architecture. While MGs primarily operate in grid-tied mode, they can function autonomously during emergencies. Ensuring stability and operational control in both modes is important. Numerous control functionalities such as voltage and frequency regulation, optimal power distribution, and islanding detection have been explored. Despite this, real-world implementation remains limited, falling short of ideal MG characteristics suitable for commercial deployment.
This special session seeks new advances on the modelling methods and control strategies of microgrids. Authors are invited to submit original papers that describe the latest results and advances in novel theories and their new applications. Specifically, submitted articles MUST NOT substantially duplicate work that any of the authors have published elsewhere or have submitted in parallel to any other conferences that have proceedings or journals. The papers will be peer-reviewed and selected based on their quality and relevance to the topic of this special session.
Session topics include but not limited to:| 1, | Modeling individual components and the integrated system within microgrids |
| 2, | Exploring droop control and voltage/frequency regulation in microgrid settings |
| 3, | Investigating novel centralized, decentralized, and distributed control methodologies tailored for microgrids |
| 4, | Examining the utilization of advanced control techniques such as optimal control, model predictive control, among others, in microgrid contexts |
| 5, | Conducting hierarchical and compositional analyses of control performance within microgrids |
| 6, | Utilizing simulation techniques to study microgrid dynamics |
