Summary:

This special session aims to explore cutting-edge theories and technological advances in the protection, operation, and control of new distribution systems. In the context of energy transition, characteristics such as high penetration of renewable energy resources, power electronic-based loads, and hybrid AC-DC architectures pose significant challenges to conventional distribution system structures and operational paradigms. Distribution systems face technical difficulties including changes in fault characteristics, complexities in protection coordination, and diversification of operational constraints, calling for the development of novel protection theories, intelligent operation methods, and coordinated control strategies. This session concentrates on key scientific issues such as protection method innovations, operational mechanism analysis, and control strategy optimization in new distribution systems, covering research hotspots including fault characteristic identification, adaptive protection coordination, multi-time scale operation optimization, hierarchical distributed control, situation awareness and resiliency enhancement. Scholars are invited to submit and exchange their latest research findings on relevant theoretical methods, key technologies, and engineering applications.
