Abstract

Driven by the accelerating deployment of distributed energy resources (DERs), advanced information and communications technologies (ICTs), and demand-side response (DR), modern power systems have been transforming from a one-way energy supply chain to a two-way energy system. The continuous integration of DERs into a low-voltage distribution network brings profound challenges to its secure and economic operation, including technical issues with protection placement and coordination, voltage and power violation, power quality, and energy losses. To overcome these challenges, tremendous endeavours have been devoted to enhancing the accommodation capability for renewables in distribution networks. In addition, DERs, including both generation and storage resources, are gaining increasing attention to support the operation of bulk power grids by providing ancillary services, particularly in frequency regulation.

To help researchers and engineers have a better overview of the state-of-the-art on the accommodation of renewables in power distribution networks, this special issue solicits original and novel research on enhancing hosting capability for renewable energy generation in active distribution networks. After undergoing a thorough peer review process, eleven papers were finally accepted on topic areas of operation and planning of distribution networks, modelling of DERs, virtual power plants, electricity market design, and demand-side management. A brief discussion of the authors' contributions is presented as follows.
