Advances in renewable energy and storage technologies provide new opportunities to optimize and transform today’s power and energy systems. Representative industrial applications include hybrid and electric vehicles, micro-grids, and smart grids, which all operate in highly dynamic environments. The resilience engineering paradigm can provide a solution addressing the challenges of a robust, reliable and effective operation of those renewable energy and storage systems. In order to effectively react to various uncertainties, investigations are required to further understand the existing technologies such as the ageing mechanisms, estimation and monitoring of internal state, as well as new architectures and algorithms for fault-tolerant control and safety management. The main objective of this special session is to share new developments in design of resilient renewable energy and storage systems targeting both electric transportation, micro-grid and smart grid applications.
