Special Session 4: Power Quality Issues in High-Penetration Renewable Energy Power Systems (专题4:高比例新能源电力系统的电能质量问题)
Chair: Yi Zhang, Fuzhou University, China |
Vice Chair: Yongfeng Zhang, Jinan University, China |
Description of the Session:
Against the background of global energy low-carbon transformation, the high proportion of new energy access is promoting the transformation of the power system from the traditional "source with load" mode to the "source-network-load-storage" coordinated operation. This change brings new characteristics to the system. The difficulty of time-space matching between power supply and demand increases. The differences in dynamic characteristics of the power supply, power grid, and load lead to mutual influences of fluctuations at different time scales. These fluctuations cause power quality problems such as voltage deviation, flicker, and harmonics. The addition of new energy storage technology further increases the complexity of the system. At present, the multi-energy coordinated regulation ability is insufficient. The electricity-carbon market mechanism has not been effectively integrated. The overall supply-demand balance of the system continues to face pressure. Traditional governance methods have problems such as slow response speed, limited model accuracy, and imperfect evaluation of system adaptability. Existing equipment can hardly meet the requirements of the new system. It is urgent to conduct research on accurate power quality analysis methods, develop highly adaptive governance equipment, and explore comprehensive optimization schemes that combine multi-energy coordination with the electricity-carbon market.

Chair: Lei Chen, Wuhan University, China |
Vice Chair: Cancan Rong, China University of Mining and Technology, China |
Description of the Session:
The global pursuit of "dual carbon" goals and the accelerating transition toward renewable energy have propelled the widespread deployment of variable renewable energy sources (RES) such as wind and solar power. Concurrently, breakthroughs in grid-forming energy storage (GFES) technologies have unlocked unprecedented opportunities for stabilizing modern power systems. GFES, as a cornerstone technology enabling dynamic grid support and renewable energy integration, is emerging as a critical enabler for power system resilience, operational flexibility, and economic efficiency.
GFES serves as a pivotal component in both transmission and distribution networks. For bulk power systems, the planning and operation of GFES must address the stability, reliability, and economic challenges posed by high-penetration renewable generation. Simultaneously, the deployment and control of GFES are constrained by grid topology and operational requirements. For renewable energy plants, GFES control strategies and capacity configuration significantly influence the spatiotemporal characteristics of power injection, which in turn affects overall system performance. However, the large-scale integration of intermittent renewables and GFES introduces new complexities in system dynamics, creating substantial challenges for power system planning, operation, and control. In this context, developing advanced GFES-based solutions for renewable power systems is of paramount importance for achieving carbon neutrality goals while ensuring grid security and stability.

Chair: Shilin Gao, Sichuan University, China |
Vice Chair: Jin Xu, Shanghai Jiaotong University, China |
Description of the Session:
With the large-scale integration of new energy sources and the widespread application of power electronic technologies, new power systems are characterized by high penetration of renewable energy generation, high proportion of power electronic devices, and multi-time-scale dynamic characteristics. These changes make traditional power system analysis methods, which primarily focus on electromechanical transients, insufficient to meet the needs of new power system operation and control. Therefore, high-performance electromagnetic transient simulation technology has become a key supporting tool in both research and engineering practice in the field of power systems. In the context of new power systems, electromagnetic transient simulation technology not only requires high-precision and stable modeling capabilities but also needs to handle the rapid simulation of large-scale power electronic devices and complex multi-time-scale dynamic processes. For instance, Professor Chen Ying from the Department of Electrical Engineering at Tsinghua University emphasized in her report on "High-Performance Electromagnetic Transient Simulation Technology" that multi-scale fusion modeling and simulation methods are essential for achieving fine-grained dynamic simulation of the entire process of new power systems. Additionally, large-scale parallel electromagnetic transient simulation algorithms based on heterogeneous processors and supercomputers, as well as the development of open high-performance supercomputing cloud simulation platforms, provide strong support for power system analysis and decision-making.
This session will explore the latest developments and applications in electromagnetic transient simulation technology for new power systems, covering multiple levels from theoretical research to practical deployment. We sincerely invite experts and scholars from academia and industry to share their research results and practical experience, and jointly promote the development of these key technologies to address the stability challenges of new power system with high proportion of renewable energy grid and power electronics

Special Session 12: Key Technologies for Clean Energy Friendly Delivery and Intelligent Dispatch and Control (专题12: 清洁能源友好送出与智能调控关键技术)
Chair: Jian Li, State Grid Sichuan Electric Power Research Institute, China |
Vice Chair: Xiaopeng Li, State Grid Sichuan Electric Power Research Institute, China |
Description of the Session:
Under the dual drivers of the “dual carbon” goals and the global low-carbon energy transition, clean energy sources such as hydropower, wind power, and photovoltaic power have experienced explosive growth. Their installed capacity and power generation proportion have been continuously rising, making them a core component of the energy supply system. However, the large-scale centralized development and grid connection of clean energy have brought significant changes to the operational characteristics of power systems. The intermittency and volatility of wind and photovoltaic power, combined with the seasonal output differences of hydropower, have led to a reduction in system inertia, weakened voltage and frequency regulation capabilities, and broken the traditional stability characteristics. At the same time, clean energy bases are mostly located in remote areas, creating a significant geographical mismatch with load centers. The demand for cross-regional and large-capacity transmission has become increasingly urgent, and the problems of capacity bottlenecks and insufficient regulation flexibility in existing transmission channels have become increasingly prominent. The traditional operational control modes of power systems are struggling to adapt to the needs of high-penetration clean energy integration. Therefore, it is imperative to conduct research on key technologies for clean energy friendly transmission and intelligent dispatch and control. Breaking through key technologies such as coordinated and complementary planning of basin-type hydro-solar-wind-storage systems, active support from clean energy power stations, flexible transmission via ultra-high-voltage DC (UHVDC) transmission, and dispatching of basin hydropower clusters. This will help establish an intelligent regulation system that supports the friendly transmission of high-penetration clean energy, enhancing grid safety, stability, and clean energy absorption capacity, thereby advancing the achievement of the “dual carbon” goals.
