Flexibility, Stability and Resilience Enhancement from Green-Hydrogen-Dominated Microgrids for Energy Systems Under Climate Change

Weather-dependent renewable energy sources such as solar and wind are inherently intermittent due to fluctuating conditions like cloud cover, wind variability, and extreme weather, posing significant challenges to the economic, stable, and secure operation of energy systems. Green-hydrogen microgrids can enhance flexibility of energy systems by mitigating weather-induced RES variability and balancing power supply-demand. It also can enhance energy systems’ stability by regulating voltage/frequency via reactive power control and grid-forming control, particularly under volatile weather conditions. Furthermore, it can boost resilience via long-duration backup for critical loads under extreme weather. However, the control, operation and management of green-hydrogen microgrid are hindered by operational uncertainties arising from variable weather conditions in the hydrogen production, transmission and consumption, including slow dynamic response, non-continuous operation, economic and security concerns. Given the above significant challenges, this special issue focuses on the flexibility, stability and resilience enhancement from green-hydrogen-dominated microgrids for energy systems under climate change. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following aspects:

1. Multi-Energy Optimization for Electricity, Hydrogen, and Ammonia in Variable Weather Conditions

2. Distributed and Nonlinear Controls for Green-Hydrogen Microgrid

3. Resilience-Oriented Microgrid Planning with Hydrogen Backup Against Weather-Induced Disruptions

4. Economic Operation and Energy Management for Green-Hydrogen Microgrids

5. Weather-Informed Metrics and Assessment Frameworks for Green-Hydrogen Microgrids’ Resilience and Flexibility

6. Machine Learning for Weather-Aware Predictive Operation of Green-Hydrogen Microgrids

7. Real-Time Fault Diagnosis and Safety Monitoring of Hydrogen Logistics in Green-Hydrogen Microgrids

8. Hydrogen-Based Microgrids for Remote and Off-Grid Communities

9. Policy and Market Mechanism Design for Green-Hydrogen Microgrids

10. Grid-Forming Control Strategies for Green-Hydrogen Hybrid Energy Storage System
