Description of the Session:
In the context of the “Dual Carbon” goals and the development of new-type power systems, the widespread integration of large-scale power electronic equipment, a high proportion of renewable energy, and diverse types of loads has endowed the power system with new characteristics, such as strong coupling, weak damping, low inertia, and significant uncertainty. Traditional stability analysis and control methods, which rely on analytical models and hierarchical control frameworks, face challenges including high modeling complexity, time-varying parameters, and significant multi-timescale coupling. This special issue focuses on “AI-Enabled Stability Mechanism Analysis and Adaptive Control Technologies for New-Type Power Systems”, concentrating on the mechanistic reconstruction and control paradigm shift for power system stability under conditions of high power electronics penetration. It explores new theories and methods that integrate data-driven approaches with physical models. The aim is to establish an interdisciplinary platform connecting power system stability analysis, artificial intelligence algorithms, and engineering applications, thereby promoting the development of an intelligent stability control system with real-time sensing, autonomous decision-making, and adaptive control capabilities. This effort seeks to provide technical support for the secure, resilient, and efficient operation of future power grids.

Description of the Session:
With the rapid development of new-type power systems, large-scale renewable energy integration, power-electronic-interfaced equipment, energy storage, flexible loads, and integrated energy systems are significantly reshaping power system operation. While these changes improve flexibility and sustainability, they also make power quality issues more complex and dynamic. Voltage deviations, voltage sags, flicker, harmonics, three-phase imbalance, and frequency stability problems are increasingly coupled across multiple time scales, operating conditions, and physical domains. Conventional power quality analysis and mitigation methods are facing growing challenges in this evolving environment, including insufficient real-time responsiveness, limited adaptability to highly uncertain operating conditions, inadequate utilization of multi-source heterogeneous data, and restricted capability for coordinated analysis and decision support. In recent years, artificial intelligence technologies have developed rapidly and are becoming an important enabler for power quality monitoring, analysis, diagnosis, assessment, and mitigation in new-type power systems. In particular, machine learning, knowledge-guided intelligence, large models, and intelligent agents provide new opportunities for disturbance identification, source tracing, state perception, risk assessment, and coordinated control. This special session aims to bring together researchers and engineers from academia and industry to discuss recent advances in AI-enabled power quality analysis and mitigation for new-type power systems. Topics of interest include intelligent sensing, data-driven and physics-informed modeling, harmonic and voltage disturbance analysis, three-phase imbalance mitigation, integrated energy system power quality, large-model applications, and AI-assisted coordinated optimization and decision-making. The session seeks to promote the development of accurate, adaptive, explainable, and practical solutions for future power systems.

Description of the Session:
With the rapid proliferation of distributed energy resources (DERs) such as photovoltaics, energy storage systems, electric vehicles, and flexible loads, distribution networks are evolving toward highly distributed, uncertainty-dominated, and multi-agent coordinated systems. In this context, conventional centralized operation paradigms are increasingly challenged by the need to efficiently integrate and utilize massive DERs. Aggregation of distributed resources, which enables cluster-based modeling and coordinated control of dispersed flexibility, has emerged as a key enabler for bridging resource-level capabilities and system-level operation. Meanwhile, hierarchical coordinated operation and control frameworks—spanning device, feeder/area, and system levels—are becoming essential for ensuring secure, efficient, and flexible operation of modern distribution networks.

This special session focuses on the key theories, methods, and emerging technologies for aggregated flexible resources supporting hierarchical coordinated operation and control in new distribution networks. It aims to explore flexibility extraction, aggregation modeling, and coordinated optimization mechanisms under complex operating conditions and multi-timescale coupling, particularly in the context of low-carbon energy transitions.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: aggregation modeling and equivalent representation of distributed resources; flexibility characterization and uncertainty-aware capability boundaries; hierarchical and multi-timescale coordinated operation and optimization; coordination mechanisms between virtual power plants (VPPs) and distribution networks; market-based participation and incentive mechanisms for multi-agent systems; flexibility-oriented control for power quality and system resilience; as well as data-driven and AI-enabled approaches for aggregation and coordinated control. Contributions on theoretical advances, key technologies, system integration, and real-world demonstrations are highly encouraged.

This session aims to bring together cutting-edge research and practical insights to advance the development of efficient, intelligent, and sustainable distribution networks with high penetration of distributed energy resources.
