Abstract
Multi-energy generation grids (MEGGs) provide a promising solution for reliable operations of cooperative various distributed energy resources (DERs), supply environmentally friendly energy to remote/off-grid areas, and improve overall system performance in terms of efficiency, reliability, flexibility, and resiliency. However, with the penetration of grids and the presence of various DERs with unpredictable renewables-based power generation and intermittent power loads, the operational coordination and supervision tasks become more complex. The communication-based optimal distributed control approach plays a significant role in MEGGs for coordinating an assembly of spatially and heterogeneous DERs, which improves reliability, efficiency, scalability, robustness, and privacy-preserving compared with traditional centralized-based controls. Therefore, this article aims to study different grid architectures and provide a comprehensive survey of optimal control and communication strategies/systems (CCS) in MEGG. A well-organized and systematic discussion related to the topic has been provided and elaborated on: 1) energy production and distribution with various grid architectures and distributed generating units (DGUs) integration for sustainable power generation, importance of unit sizing and technologies selection, and their implementations and operations; 2) classification on numerous control architectures and techniques, their prominent features and impact on MEGG stability; 3) multiple advanced intelligent control strategies and their essential aspects and merits; 4) different promising communication networks and technologies with optimal communication protocols and standards along with their computational mechanism and potential operational objectives in MEGGs; 5) communication strategies features and reliability issues concerning data volume, data availability, data accuracy, data security and authentication, time synchronization, and the growth of countermeasures; and 6) finally, key research gaps are highlighted and some recommendations are provided for future research works to efficiently handle the MEGG control, security, and communication network requirements.
期刊介绍:
IEEE Communications Surveys & Tutorials is an online journal published by the IEEE Communications Society for tutorials and surveys covering all aspects of the communications field. Telecommunications technology is progressing at a rapid pace, and the IEEE Communications Society is committed to providing researchers and other professionals the information and tools to stay abreast. IEEE Communications Surveys and Tutorials focuses on integrating and adding understanding to the existing literature on communications, putting results in context. Whether searching for in-depth information about a familiar area or an introduction into a new area, IEEE Communications Surveys & Tutorials aims to be the premier source of peer-reviewed, comprehensive tutorials and surveys, and pointers to further sources. IEEE Communications Surveys & Tutorials publishes only articles exclusively written for IEEE Communications Surveys & Tutorials and go through a rigorous review process before their publication in the quarterly issues.
A tutorial article in the IEEE Communications Surveys & Tutorials should be designed to help the reader to become familiar with and learn something specific about a chosen topic. In contrast, the term survey, as applied here, is defined to mean a survey of the literature. A survey article in IEEE Communications Surveys & Tutorials should provide a comprehensive review of developments in a selected area, covering its development from its inception to its current state and beyond, and illustrating its development through liberal citations from the literature. Both tutorials and surveys should be tutorial in nature and should be written in a style comprehensible to readers outside the specialty of the article.
