Guest Editorial: Advanced and Innovative Control Technologies for Grid-Resilience-Enhancing Energy Storage Systems

Övrig text i vetenskaplig tidskrift, 2025

Along with the higher penetration of renewables, more frequent natural disasters/disturbing events, and increased level of interconnection between different industrial processes, higher-level flexibility and adaptability are demanded to address the intermittence, rising costs, and high uncertainty and vulnerability in energy supply and utilization. Energy storage systems are bound to play an ever-growing crucial role in future smart grid systems with
high power quality and resilience requirements. As the key drivers of a carbon-neutral and smart society, they are also essential to electrified transportation, industrial cyber-physical systems, and residential communities. This dispensability has been witnessed by the rapid growth of global energy storage deployments and emerging business paradigms, especially with the proliferation of high-density power batteries and highly efficient power electronics over the past years. This operational vision for enhancing grid resilience motivates the in-depth investigation of advanced and innovative control technologies for energy storage. The microscopic, component- and system-level optimization and management of energy storage systems and their interplay with other industrial systems are critical to the security andlongevity of system deployment. This endeavor on control system development can also be further promoted by incorporating the emerging advancements in data science and artificial intelligence (AI), which have been increasinglyexplored in the existing body of knowledge.
