Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We invite you to submit your original research or overview papers to this Special Issue on the “Sustainable Management of Power Supply System” in Sustainability.

This Special Issue is envisioned as an opportunity to conduct research on the sustainable management of power supply system concerning both conventional power systems and microgrid in standalone, grid-connected, remote and hybrid operation mode. Integration of renewable energy technologies and electric vehicles and incorporating various types of energy storage technologies pose crucial challenges in managing the modern-day power supply system. Simultaneously, a digital transformation is occurring across the power and energy value chain, starting from the generation, to distribution, and all the way to the end-use electricity supply for residential, commercial and industrial consumers. It is now essential that the electrical power sector recognizes the contributions of the emerging technologies that would facilitate sustainable and intelligent management of modern-day power supply systems. In this context, it is necessary to address different research gaps. Hence, submissions may concern, but are not limited to, the following topics:

  • Sustainable practices in operating a power supply system.
  • Managerial challenges of planning and operation of power systems having high shares of renewable energy resources.
  • Demand-side management implications on the power supply.
  • Impact of integrating renewable energy and load forecasting.
  • Integration of energy storage technologies.
  • System-wide energy efficiency issues.
  • Incorporation of virtual power plants.
  • Operation and management of microgrids and remote area power systems.
  • Energy market and policy issues.
  • Techno-economic analysis and environmental impacts of power system.
  • Planning and management of electric vehicle fleet integration.
  • System design, monitoring, deployment and regulation.
  • Life cycle assessment of sustainable systems.
  • Management of generation, transmission and distribution system assets.
  • Sustainable power supply towards grid decarbonization.
  • Application of blockchain, Internet of things, artificial intelligence and machine learning in power systems.
  • The control and optimization in distributed generation systems.

We believe that the formulated solutions to ongoing problems and the results obtained in the articles published in this Special Issue could have a meaningful impact on energy resource development in light of the abovementioned areas.

At the core of every system for the efficient control of the network steady-state operation is the AC-power-flow problem solver. For local distribution networks to continue to operate effectively, it is necessary to use the most powerful and numerically stable AC-power-flow problem solvers within the software that controls the power flows in these networks. This communication presents the results of analyses of the computational performance and stability of three methods for solving the AC-power-flow problem. Specifically, this communication compares the robustness and speed of execution of the Gauss–Seidel (G–S), Newton–Raphson (N–R), and Newton–Raphson method with Iwamoto multipliers (N–R–I), which were tested in open-source pandapower software using a meshed electrical network model of various topologies. The test results show that the pandapower implementations of the N–R method and the N–R–I method are significantly more robust and faster than the G–S method, regardless of the network topology. In addition, a generalized Python interface between the pandapower and the SciPy package was implemented and tested, and results show that the hybrid Powell, Levenberg–Marquardt, and Krylov methods, a quasilinearization algorithm, and the continuous Newton method can sometimes achieve better results than the classical N–R method.

Electric vehicles (EVs) have received massive consideration in the automotive industries due to their improved performance, efficiency and capability to minimize global warming and carbon emission impacts. The utilization of EVs has several potential benefits, such as increased use of renewable energy, less dependency on fossil-fuel-based power generations and energy-storage capability. Although EVs can significantly mitigate global carbon emissions, it is challenging to maintain power balance during charging on-peak hours. Thus, it mandates a comprehensive impact analysis of high-level electric vehicle penetration in utility grids. This paper investigates the impacts of large-scale EV penetration on low voltage distribution, considering the charging time, charging method and characteristics. Several charging scenarios are considered for EVs’ integration into the utility grid regarding power demand, voltage profile, power quality and system adequacy. A lookup-table-based charging approach for EVs is proposed for impact analysis, while considering a large-scale integration. It is observed that the bus voltage and line current are affected during high-level charging and discharging of the EVs. The residential grid voltage sag increases by about 1.96% to 1.77%, 2.21%, 1.96 to 1.521% and 1.93% in four EV-charging profiles, respectively. The finding of this work can be adopted in designing optimal charging/discharging of EVs to minimize the impacts on bus voltage and line current. Full article
