About This Topic
The imperative to reduce the carbon footprint associated with conventional power generation, coupled with the depletion of fossil fuels, has propelled the electric power system towards adopting renewable energy sources (RESs). Effective integration of these distributed generators (DGs) is essential for ensuring grid reliability, stability, and efficiency. This special issue covers a range of topics providing a comprehensive overview of the current state and future directions in this field. This special focuses on the critical aspects of integrating renewable energy sources (RES) to the grid. With the global transition towards sustainable energy, understanding the complexities and developing effective solutions for grid integration are paramount. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
-Development and integration of energy storage systems, including the Power to X concept.
-Techniques and tools for maintaining grid stability with a high penetration of RESs. -Implementation of smart grid technologies to enhance grid resilience.
-Advanced phasor (sequence) domain models and solvers for inverter-based resources (IBRs), including Grid Following (GFL) and Grid Forming (GFM) inverters, to accurately capture their non-linear fault responses with less computational burden.
-Development of current limiting strategies for GFM and GFL-based IBRs to manage near and far-end faults in networks with high penetration of RESs, ensuring compliance with various grid codes (e.g., German: VDE-AR-N- 4120, 4110, 4105, UK: GC0137) and IEEE standards (e.g., IEEE 2800-2022).
-Power Flow (PF) methods to accurately model the IBRs and other components of the modern power system in the PF solution
-Tools and methodologies for optimal network reconfiguration in distribution networks to increase grid resilience and DG hosting capacity.
-Development of effective solutions to address the challenges associated with integrating RESs to the grid.
- Network equivalents of power systems with high penetrations of RESs.
- Analytical and Machine Learning data fitting models for parametrization/characterization of fault response of IBRs

Rolf Teschke studied Medicine in Munich and Marburg, where he finished his MD thesis before starting a residency at the Department of Pathology, University of Marburg. Subsequently and with a fellowship of the Deutsche Forschungsgmeinschaft, he worked at the Bronx VA Hospital/Mount Sinai Hospital in New York during 1972–1975 together with Professor Charles S. Lieber and successfully isolated MEOS and expanded its characterization. Back in Germany, he was at the Heinrich-Heine University in Düsseldorf with a focus on alcoholic liver disease, biochemical drug studies, and clinical intoxications by halogenated aliphatic hydrocarbons, where he became a Professor of Medicine. In 1987, he was offered a chief position and appointed as Director of the Medical Department II, City Hospital Hanau, Teaching Hospital of the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University Frankfurt/Main. His clinical and research interests are on liver injury by drugs and herbs including causality assessment by RUCAM in close association with Dr. Gaby Danan in Paris. A perfect cooperation exists also with Professor Tran Dang Xuan of the University of Hiroshima, Japan. Finally, he is the author of more than 275 publications including books and book chapters, and he is editor in chief of scientific journals and member of editorial boards.
