Firstly, critical short-circuit ratio (CSCR) under different assumed conditions were derived based on the short-circuit ratio index. Secondly, the calculation method of the complex short-circuit ratio index was introduced, considering both the equivalent impedance angle of the device and the Thevenin equivalent impedance angle. This was followed by the determination of the threshold value of the complex short-circuit ratio (CSCR∼), enabling a precise quantitative evaluation of power grid voltage support strength in diverse device grid connection scenarios. Finally, the example analysis proves the accuracy and efficacy of the complex short-circuit ratio index in assessing the voltage support strength of diverse devices in grid-connected scenarios.","PeriodicalId":503838,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Energy Research","volume":"15 22","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141925085","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hence, modern sustainable energy systems need to implement a stringent power management strategy to achieve the maximum possible green electricity production while reducing costs. Due to the above-mentioned characteristics of sustainable energy sources, power management systems have become increasingly sophisticated nowadays. For addressing the analysis, scheduling, and control problems of future sustainable power systems, conventional model-based methods are completely inefficient as they fail to handle irregular electric power disturbances in renewable energy generations. Consequently, with the advent of smart grids in recent years, power system operators have come to rely on smart metering and advanced sensing devices for collecting more extensive data. This, in turn, facilitates the application of advanced machine learning algorithms, which can ultimately cause the generation of useful information by learning from massive data without assumptions and simplifications in handling the most irregular operating behaviors of the power systems. This paper aims to explore various application objectives of some machine learning algorithms that primarily apply to wind energy conversion systems (WECSs). In addition, an enhanced proportional integral (PI) (2DoF) algorithm is particularly introduced and implemented in a doubly fed induction generator (DFIG)-based WECS to enhance the reliability of power production. The main contribution of this article is to leverage the superior qualities of the PI (2DoF) algorithm for enhanced performance, stability, and robustness of the WECS under uncertainties. Finally, the effectiveness of the study is demonstrated by developing a virtual reality in a MATLAB-Simulink environment.","PeriodicalId":503838,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Energy Research","volume":"16 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141925337","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In order to enhance the VPP’s contribution to reducing carbon emissions, a bi-level framework is proposed that incorporates an integrated energy-carbon price response mechanism. This model allows VPPs to participate in a multi-energy system through a multi-agent Stackelberg game framework. Initially, a transaction model is established where the power distribution system operator and the gas distribution system operator act as leaders, while the virtual power plant operator acts as a follower in the multi-energy system. Subsequently, an integrated energy-carbon pricing method, rooted in carbon emission flow theory, is introduced to encourage VPPs to proactively adjust their energy-use and trading strategies within multi-energy systems, thereby promoting multi-principal interactive trading. To achieve a distributed solution among multiple entities while maintaining the privacy of each entity’s information, the adaptive step-size alternating direction multiplier method is employed.

Meanwhile, the study of detecting and preventing intruders in ubiquitous smart grids environment is spurred significantly by the possibility of access points on various communication equipment. As a result, there are no comprehensive security protocols in place preventing from a malicious attacker’s accessing to smart grids components, which would enable the interaction of attackers and system operators through the power grid control system. Recently, dynamics of time-extended interactions are believed to be predicted and solved by reinforcement learning technology. As a descriptive advantage of the approach compared with other methods, it provides the opportunities of simultaneously modeling several human continuous interactions features for decision-making process, rather than specifying an individual agent’s decision dynamics and requiring others to follow specific kinematic and dynamic limitations. In this way, a machine-mediated human-human interaction’s result is determined by how control and physical systems are designed. Technically, it is possible to design dedicated human-in-the-loop societal control systems that are attack-resistant by using simulations that predict such results with preventive assessment and acceptable accuracy. It is important to have a reliable model of both the control and physical systems, as well as of human decision-making, to make reliable assumptions. This study presents such a method to develop these tools, which includes a model that simulates the attacks of a cyber-physical intruder on the system and the operator’s defense, demonstrating the overall performance benefit of such framework designs.","PeriodicalId":503838,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Energy Research","volume":"36 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141928778","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The parameters of this coupling model are determined using the particle swarm algorithm. On this basis, the battery compartment model of the energy storage station is analyzed and verified by utilizing the circuit series–parallel connection characteristics.

The heaters were equipped with a retrofittable sensor/actuator setup and a real-time price-driven model predictive control unit, which covers state estimation, demand prediction, and optimization of switching times. With the introduction of generic performance indicators (specific costs and thermal efficiency), the results achieved in the field are compared by simulations to standard control modes (instantaneous heating, hysteresis, night-only switching). To evaluate how model predictive control performance depends on the user demand prediction and state estimation accuracy, simulations assuming perfect predictions and state estimations are conducted based on the data measured in the field.
