Challenged by carbon emission and energy utilization efficiency, traditional energy systems are undergoing a profound transformation from the system structure to the consumption mode. Represented by microgrids and integrated energy systems (IES), the concept and development have advanced the coordinated usage of renewable energy generation and energy storage, which can effectively meet energy demands across all sectors. Microgrids and IES have attracted more attention nowadays to facilitate the reliable and efficient operation of energy systems.
The adoption of microgrid and IES significantly increases the coupling and interactions between sources and between supply and end-use at various scales. Flexibility and resilience of distribution networks can be achieved based on the multiple energy integration in microgrids and IES, e.g., electricity, heat, cooling, and other energy service requirements. Thus, there is a growing call for the development of advanced modeling, simulation, optimization and planning tools of microgrids and IES, which will lead to a more efficient and sustainable energy system.
This special column is a state-of-art collection on the theories and practices involving microgrids and IES. The aim is to disseminate the latest advances on architecture design, novel methodologies, and pilot applications of microgrids and IES. It also provides a valuable opportunity for researchers and engineers to share their discoveries and practices in these areas.
