The potential for renewable energy to make contributions to mitigating the impact of climate change is expected to increase signi ficantly in the longer term.Renewable energy generation technologies including onshore wind,offshore wind,wave,tidal,marine current,and ocean thermal energy generation as well as PV power generation,which are considered essential to meet long term aim of reducing CO2emissions,have experienced rapid development and signi ficant progresses during the past 10 years.
Decarbonizing the power sector by ramping up the adoption of renewable energy is essential to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement where the required acceleration of the global shift to low carbon can only be achieved through a combination of clean energy generation,modern transmission technologies and power grid interconnectivity,which all play important roles in the transition.It is well recognized now thatGlobal Energy Interconnection (GEI)is crucial for Paris Goalsas the GEI initiative comprehensively promotes the implementation of six agenda items of the Paris Agreement,including mitigation,adaptation,finance,technology,capacity building and transparency.
Responding to the UNFCCC COP24 being held in Poland in December,this special issue provides a timely and comprehensive review of recent progresses,applications,and challenges spurred by the large scale renewable energy generation and associated transmission technology developments.It is intended for a broad audience interested in gaining comprehensive understanding of technical issues and opportunities that may exist in this important field.The special issue consists of 3 parts,namely
·Column 1:Integration of renewable energy
·Column 2:Renewable energy generation
·Column 3:Advanced transmission and operation to support renewable energy integration
In Column 1,the focus is on the integration of renewable energy,and there are 4 papers,which address the integration of renewable energy and related technologies including the assessment of the economic bene fits of electricity interconnection between China and EU,a restoration strategy using micro-grids for restoring power supply to critical loads after a natural disaster in order to enhance the resilience of the distribution power grid,the regulating cost of power system with high renewables penetration,and superconducting technology for supporting renewable integration.
In Column 2,the focus is on the renewable energy generation and control technologies,and there are 3 papers,which discuss smoothing of power output of integrated wind/wave energy system,tuning governor control parameters of a hydropower generator considering the primary frequency performance and small-signal stability,quantitative analysis of distributed,and centralized development modes for renewable energy.
In Column 3,advanced transmission and operations to support renewable energy integration are investigated,which include the system security assessment and control of hybrid AC-HVDC-systems,simulation and engineering application of cross area Multi-HVDCs Interconnection,operation of offshore wind farms connected with diode rectifier unit (DRU)-based high-voltage DC (DRU-HVDC)system,new technology and development trends in HVDC transmission system to support renewable energy integration,and route designs and cost estimation for Japan-Russia and Japan -South Korea interconnections.
