Intelligent Modelling of Microgrids
Description
Intelligent modeling plays a crucial role in modern power systems, particularly in the planning, operation, and control of microgrids. Microgrids are local, low-voltage distribution systems that facilitate the integration of renewable energy sources and storage systems. Equipped with advanced control systems, microgrids enhance the reliability and stability of the power system. Intelligent modeling encompasses various techniques, including machine learning, data analytics, and optimization algorithms, developed to design, operate, and manage microgrids effectively.
This approach enables system operators to predict renewable power generation, load demand, and energy prices, optimize unit dispatch, facilitate the integration of renewable energy sources, and address environmental pollution concerns. Additionally, intelligent modeling aids in fault detection, which enhances self-healing mechanisms and improves microgrid resilience. In summary, intelligent modeling empowers microgrids to become intelligent, adaptive, and sustainable energy solutions, paving the way for a more resilient and decarbonized power system that harnesses the full potential of renewable energy sources.
This Special Issue aims to bring together various intelligent modeling approaches, advances in analytical techniques, integration of artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things (IoT), 5G/6G applications in energy systems, and other advanced methods and mechanisms to address microgrid challenges. These challenges encompass technical, environmental, and economic aspects related to the planning, operation, and control of microgrids. Furthermore, we encourage submissions focusing on energy management systems, self-healing mechanisms, and multi-carrier energy hubs. We welcome both original research and review articles.
