This book addresses the pressing challenges faced by renewable power system operation (RPSO) due to the increasing penetration of renewable energy and flexible load. These challenges can be divided into two categories. Firstly, the inherent uncertainties associated with renewable energy sources pose significant difficulties in RPSO. Secondly, the presence of various types of flexible load, along with their complex constraint relationships, adds to the operational complexities. Recognizing the growing emphasis on the economic and low-carbon aspects of RPSO, this book focuses on the key issues of flexible load control. It mainly consists of following categories: (1) The control of data centers, a booming flexible load, to enhance RPSO through renewable energy integration and advanced robust multi-objective optimization. (2) The introduction of flexible industrial load control, employing effective demand-supply cooperative responding strategies for RPSO. (3) The exploration of electricvehicle flexible charging load control and centralized electric vehicle charging system control in the context of RPSO. The book also covers the emerging field of flexible integrated load control for renewable energy-based comprehensive energy system operation. Aimed at researchers, engineers, and graduate students in electrical engineering and computer science, this book provides a valuable resource for understanding and implementing flexible load control in the context of RPSO.

This book investigates in detail renewable power system optimization (RPSO) technology, exploring its potential us to accommodate intermittent, random, and fluctuating renewable energy from the aspects of power supply side, power grid side, demand side and energy storage. RPSO delves into the interdisciplinary field of sustainable energy systems, offering a comprehensive exploration of methodologies and strategies to maximize the efficiency, reliability, and resilience of renewable power systems. Studies on RPSO have attracted engineers and scientists from various disciplines, such as electrical, computer, transportation, control and management science. The book integrates theoretical frameworks, computational techniques, and practical case studies, which caters to a diverse readers including researchers, engineers, policymakers, and graduate students specializing in renewable energy, electrical engineering, environmental science, and related disciplines. It is particularly beneficial for those seeking to enhance the efficiency, reliability, and resilience of renewable power systems in the face of evolving energy transition challenges.

With the increasing penetration of renewable energy and distributed energy resources, smart grid is facing great challenges, which could be divided into two categories. On the one hand, the endogenous uncertainties of renewable energy and electricity load lead to great difficulties in smart grid forecast. On the other hand, massive electric devices as well as their complex constraint relationships bring about significant difficulties in smart grid dispatch. 

Owe to the rapid development of artificial intelligence in recent years, several artificial intelligence enabled computational methods have been successfully applied in the smart grid and achieved good performances. Therefore, this book is concerned with the research on the key issues of artificial intelligence enabled computational methods for smart grid forecast and dispatch, which consist of three main parts.

(1) Introduction for smart grid forecast and dispatch, in inclusion of reviewing previous contribution of various research methods as well as their drawbacks to analyze characteristics of smart grid forecast and dispatch.

(2) Artificial intelligence enabled computational methods for smart grid forecast problems, which are devoted to present the recent approaches of deep learning and machine learning as well as their successful applications in smart grid forecast.

(3) Artificial intelligence enabled computational methods for smart grid dispatch problems, consisting of edge-cutting intelligent decision-making approaches, which help determine the optimal solution of smart grid dispatch.             

The book is useful for university researchers, engineers, and graduate students in electrical engineering and computer science who wish to learn the core principles, methods, algorithms, and applications of artificial intelligence enabled computational methods.

The surge in renewable and distributed energy sources has posed significant challenges for smart power distribution network (SPDN). These challenges fall into two main categories: the unpredictability of renewable energy sources and the complexities introduced by numerous electrical devices and their interdependencies, affecting forecasting and operational performance. As the emphasis on SPDN''s economic and environmental aspects grows, this book focuses on the vital themes of sustainability and cost-efficiency in SPDN forecasting, planning, and operation. It is structured into three key parts:

1. SPDN Situation Awareness: This section assesses prior research methods, analyzes their shortcomings while dissecting SPDN''s unique situation awareness characteristics. Then, some forecast and virtual collection methods are presented. 

2. Boosting SPDN Planning: Addressing optimal planning challenges in SPDN, this part introduces advanced modelling and algorithm solvingtechniques, tailored to mitigate SPDN''s inherent uncertainty.

3. Enhancing SPDN Operation: Considering a variety of equipment types and controllable loads, this section explores strategies to boost SPDN operational performance. It covers control methodologies for electric vehicles, flexible loads, energy storage, and related equipments, etc.

Tailored for university researchers, engineers, and graduate students in electrical engineering and computer science, this book is a valuable resource for comprehending SPDN''s situation awareness, planning, and operation intricacies in the context of sustainability and economic efficiency.
