Session 11: Game-Changing regulation methodologies for integrating large-scale renewable generations in future power systems

Game-Changing regulation methodologies for integrating large-scale renewable generations in future power systems
“新型电力系统大规模可再生能源并网的变革性调控方法”

The global transition towards sustainable energy is driving the unprecedented integration of large-scale, inverter-based renewable generations (IBR) into power systems worldwide. While this shift is critical for decarbonization, it fundamentally challenges the century-old paradigms of power system operation and control. The inherent variability, uncertainty, and non-synchronous nature of IBRs are straining the stability, reliability, and resilience of the grid, revealing critical gaps between theoretical potential and secure, practical implementation.
Significant research gaps persist. These include a lack of accurate, scalable models for simulating the dynamic interaction of thousands of IBRs, insufficient tools for real-time stability assessment in low-inertia systems, and a need for novel protection schemes immune to the altered fault currents from power electronics. From an industrial perspective, a major gap exists between existing regulatory frameworks and the needs of a modern grid. Legacy grid codes are often inadequate for procuring essential stability services like inertia and grid strength. Furthermore, a standardized approach for cyber-secure communication and control of a distributed, digitalized fleet of assets is urgently needed.
This special session is dedicated to bridging these gaps. We invite pioneering contributions on novel methodologies, including advanced grid-forming control strategies, data-driven stability assessment tools, innovative market mechanisms for ancillary services, and resilient cyber-physical architectures. Our goal is to foster a crucial dialogue that translates cutting-edge research into practical, safe, and reliable solutions, paving the way for the secure operation of future power systems with 100% renewable penetration.
