Modeling and Analysis of Sustainable Power Networks

Due to the evident climate change and environmental pressures, future energy systems will have to operate, sooner rather than later, in a net-zero environment. This will manifest in a mix of wide range of electricity generation, storage and demand technologies (increasingly power electronics interfaced); blurred boundaries between transmission and distribution system; significantly higher reliance on the use of legacy and measurement data including global signals for system identification, characterization and control and Information and Communication Technology embedded within the power system network and its components. The key characteristics of such a complex system, would certainly be proliferation of power electronic devices in different shapes and forms and for different purposes, increased uncertainties in system operation and parameters and much larger reliance on the use of measurement and other data collected.
