Guest Editorial: Special Section on Large-Scale Grid Integration and Regulatory Issues of Variable Power Generation

The twenty-nine papers in this special section focus on the topic of large scale power grid integration and the regulatory issues involved. These include information on stochastic models of solar and wind power generation dispatch including case studies; transmission flexibility in accommodating more wind power; robust and optimal inertial control for frequency support; challenges associated with assessment, testing, and development inverter technologies for LVRT; inter-area oscillation of interconnected wind power plants; artificial intelligent applications in complex scenarios associated with futuristic plug-in hybrid vehicles; distributed energy storage for approaches for frequency support; and high penetration of variable power generation systems.
