Zero-Carbon Parks: Power System Planning, Operation, and Flexible Resource Coordination
Session Chair(s) and Speakers:
Mingyu Yan
Mingyu Yan is with the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan, China. His research interests include power system operation and planning, low-carbon energy systems, micro-energy networks, electric-vehicle integration, demand-side flexibility, renewable-energy accommodation, and multi-time-scale optimization scheduling. Recent research addresses the aggregation of electric vehicles into virtual energy-storage resources and coordinated day-ahead and intra-day scheduling for micro-energy networks under renewable-energy uncertainty. His expertise is closely aligned with zero-carbon park power-system planning and operation, distribution-grid interaction, source-grid-load-storage coordination, and flexible resource dispatch.

Shanshan Cai
Shanshan Cai is invited as a speaker from Huazhong University of Science and Technology. The proposed talk will discuss coordinated optimization and control of source-grid-load-storage resources in zero-carbon parks, supporting secure, economical, and low-carbon operation of park-level power systems.
Session Abstract
Zero-carbon parks provide an important application scenario for the construction of new-type power systems. This special topic papers section focuses on power-system-oriented planning, operation, control, and assessment methods for zero-carbon parks with high penetration of renewable energy, energy storage, electric vehicles, flexible industrial loads, and other demand-side resources. Topics of interest include park-level power system modeling, source-grid-load-storage coordination, distribution-grid interaction, renewable-energy accommodation, carbon-constrained optimal dispatch, flexible load aggregation, energy storage planning and operation, reliability and resilience assessment, power quality and security analysis, data-driven forecasting and optimization, and practical demonstrations of zero-carbon park power systems. The section aims to provide a forum for researchers, engineers, and practitioners to discuss technical challenges and recent advances in building safe, reliable, flexible, and low-carbon park power systems.
