Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is a selection of papers that will address the challenges and strategies for transforming the electricity grid to meet the demands of the future. Renewable energy sources will constitute a large part of the generation mix in future and will bring challenges due to their non-dispatchable nature. In addition, a penetration of low inertia system and grid edge electronics will change the dynamics of the power system. At the distribution level, potential disruptions due to large-scale penetration of plug-in electric vehicles, distributed generation, and dynamic prosumers is foreseen. What strategies do we use to transform the grid that are not highly disruptive? How do we leverage the digitization of the grid to create a sustainable and environmentally friendly grid?
