Planning, Operation, and Relay Protection Technologies for New Power Systems
Maintaining the real-time balance between power supply and demand is the foundation for the secure and stable operation of power systems. With the large-scale integration of intermittent renewable energy into power systems, the traditional real-time balance mode of “generation following load” will face severe challenges. Ensuring supply-demand balance and operational security in new power systems is a highly challenging and pioneering strategic task. In this context, research on operation control and relay protection technologies for new power systems, aimed at overcoming the technical bottlenecks that hinder their development, is of great theoretical significance and engineering value. Suggested topics include, but are not limited to:
1. Evolution and Optimal Planning of New Power System Configurations
2. Theory and Technologies for Power-Carbon Synergy in New Power Systems
3. Security and Stability Analysis and Control Technologies for New Power Systems
4. Coordinated Interaction of Source-Grid-Load-Storage in New Power Systems
5. Planning and Operation Technologies for Integrated Energy Systems
6. Resilience Optimization and Assessment Methods for New Power Systems
7. Relay Protection Technologies for Power Systems
8. Integration of New Energy and Transportation-Energy Systems
