As smart grids evolve with increased interconnection, renewable energy integration, and electrification, the large-scale deployment of ultra-high voltage AC/DC networks introduces various operational modes and potential fault points, posing significant challenges to maintaining stability. Traditional analysis and control methods fall short under these conditions. In contrast, emerging artificial intelligence (AI) techniques, combined with real-time data collection, provide powerful tools for enhancing stability analysis in smart grids. This paper comprehensively explores AI techniques in stability analysis, discussing the necessity and rationale for integrating AI into stability analysis through the lenses of knowledge fusion, discovery, and adaptation.

Believe it or not, this is the energy paradox faced by Australia on October 3, 2024. The proliferation of photovoltaic panels on roofs is causing an over-production of electricity, threatening the grid's stability. On that day, the peak of solar energy reached a record level, far exceeding the expected consumption level. As a result, the electric load vanished, and the total demand seen by the dispatch center crossed the dangerous low limit set to ensure network stability. In Victoria, one of the wealthiest states in Australia, the electricity system is designed for demand ranging from 1,865 to 10,000 megawatts, with a typical average of 5,000 megawatts. But on Saturday, 3 October, the market fell to a record low of 1,352 megawatts. This unprecedented situation has put the electricity grid under immense pressure. While not resulting in a widespread blackout, it demonstrates the urgent need to adapt energy infrastructure and policies. Solutions such as cost-effective large-scale battery storage or virtual power plants improving the capacity to manage excess solar energy are urgently needed. Other countries, notably California, have experienced similar challenges, illustrated by the “Duck curve” (see Figure 1). The most straightforward mitigation means to “dump” the excess PV energy by capping their production, which amounts to increasing their total cost of ownership and lost opportunity for deeper decarbonization.","PeriodicalId":100648,"journal":{"name":"iEnergy","volume":"3 4","pages":"187-188"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10787156","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142905804","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the battery's characteristics of instant degradation seriously affect its long life and high safety applications. The aging mechanisms of LiBs are complex and multi-faceted, strongly influenced by numerous interacting factors. Currently, the degree of capacity fading is commonly used to describe the aging of the battery, and the ratio of the maximum available capacity to the rated capacity of the battery is defined as the state of health (SOH). However, the aging or health of the battery should be multifaceted. to realize the multi-dimensional comprehensive evaluation of battery health status, a novel SOH estimation method driven by multidimensional aging characteristics is proposed through the improved single-particle model. The parameter identification and sensitivity analysis of the model were carried out during the whole cycle of life in a wide temperature environment. Nine aging characteristic parameters were obtained to describe the SOH. Combined with aging mechanisms, the current health status was evaluated from four aspects: capacity level, lithium-ion diffusion, electrochemical reaction, and power capacity.
