Coordinated Control of Large-Scale Distributed Sources and Loads in Flexible Distribution Systems

As the construction of the new power system advances, flexible distribution technology provides critical support for enabling efficient interaction between distributed sources and loads. However, the widespread integration of large-scale distributed photovoltaic systems, energy storage, electric vehicles, and flexible loads has rendered the operational characteristics of distribution networks increasingly complex. Traditional control schemes are inadequate to address the challenges posed by the uneven spatiotemporal distribution and diverse response behaviors of multiple resource types. This special issue focuses on the coordinated control of large-scale distributed sources and loads in flexible distribution systems, and investigates key technologies including the regulation of flexible interconnection equipment, multi-agent source–load aggregation optimization, and group-level control and coordination of distributed resources. The objective is to explore novel pathways for the secure, economical, and efficient operation of flexible distribution networks, and to provide theoretical foundations and technical solutions for the grid-friendly integration and coordinated accommodation of massive distributed resources.
