Special Session 1

AI-Driven Panoramic Perception, Temporal Forecasting, and Intelligent Dispatch for High-Renewable Power Systems
“面向高比例新能源电力系统的人工智能驱动全景感知、时序预测与智能调度”

The rapid growth of renewable energy resources is transforming modern power systems into highly uncertain, dynamic, and data-intensive cyber-physical systems. High penetration of wind power, photovoltaic generation, distributed energy resources, energy storage, and flexible loads introduces strong intermittency, complex spatiotemporal correlations, and frequent operational deviations. These challenges require advanced artificial intelligence methods to support real-time system awareness, accurate temporal forecasting, fast dispatch decision-making, and secure control optimization. Artificial intelligence technologies, including machine learning, deep learning, graph neural networks, reinforcement learning, foundation models, and large language models, provide powerful tools for modeling complex source-load-storage-grid interactions. By integrating multi-source data fusion, spatiotemporal prediction, learning-augmented optimization, and intelligent control, AI-driven methods can enhance the observability, predictability, flexibility, and resilience of high-renewable power systems. In particular, AI can play a critical role in addressing incomplete measurements, forecast errors, abrupt renewable power variations, extreme-weather disturbances, and large-scale dispatch optimization.
This special session focuses on AI methodologies, system architectures, and practical applications for high-renewable power systems. It aims to bring together researchers and practitioners working on intelligent perception, temporal forecasting, dispatch optimization, control decision-making, and AI-enabled engineering deployment in modern power systems.

随着风电、光伏、分布式能源、储能和柔性负荷的大规模接入,现代电力系统正逐步演化为具有高度不确定性、强动态性和数据密集特征的复杂信息物理系统。高比例新能源带来的间歇性、波动性、源荷储网多主体耦合关系以及频繁运行偏差,对系统实时感知、时序预测、快速调度和安全控制提出了更高要求。人工智能技术,包括机器学习、深度学习、图神经网络、强化学习、基础模型和大语言模型,为刻画复杂源荷储网交互关系提供了新的方法。通过融合多源数据感知、时空预测、学习增强优化和智能控制,人工智能方法能够提升高比例新能源电力系统的可观测性、可预测性、灵活性和韧性。特别是在量测不完备、预测偏差、功率陡变、极端天气扰动和大规模调度优化等问题中,人工智能具有重要应用潜力。本专题聚焦高比例新能源电力系统中的人工智能方法、系统架构和工程应用,重点关注智能感知、时序预测、调度优化、控制决策以及AI赋能的新型电力系统工程实践。
