Preface

Focusing on the latest research development and progress in the fields of power system engineering and smart grid, the 2024 International Conference on Power System Engineering and Smart Grid (PSESG 2024) was held in Beijing, China from August 16 th to 18 th , 2024. It was presided over by North China University of Technology (NCUT), with the full support of many universities, research institutes and enterprises at home and abroad. PSESG 2024 was created to build a high-quality academic forum to exchange and share successful experiences of innovation in the domains of power system engineering and smart grid, and establish an effective cooperation platform for researchers and scholars from universities, research institutes and enterprises all over the world. Calling for papers on such topics as Transmission and Distribution System and Equipment, Electrical and Energy Circuits and Systems, Power System Planning and Dispatch, Power System Security Defense and Restoration Control, Smart Grid Deployment, Smart Grid and Distributed Energy, etc., this conference attracted about 80 scientists, engineers, practitioners and graduate students worldwide to exchange their current technical application experience and research results, so as to promote the development of relevant fields and industries. The conference took place for three days, among which day two could be deemed the most critical. On behalf of the organizer, Professor Jinghua Zhou (North China University of Technology), first made an opening speech, introducing NCUT and its cross-disciplinary characteristics of energy storage to the experts and scholars attending the conference, and expressing his sincere welcome to the attendees. And next is the keynote speech part performed by several renown experts, including Professor Shunli Wang (Inner Mongolia University of Technology), Professor Zechun Hu (Tsinghua University), Professor Jinghua Zhou (North China University of Technology), Professor Yu Wang (Chongqing University), and Associate Professor Chenye Wu (The Chinese University of Hong Kong). Their speeches not only covered the latest advances in power system engineering and smart grid, but also explored the innovative application of energy storage technology and the trend of the digital transformation of power systems, providing participants with valuable academic insights. Then, the oral and poster presentation mainly presented by young scholars were held to showcase their research achievements. They talked about the technical principles, operational characteristics, optimization methods, as well as challenges and solutions in practical applications of power system and smart grid from different perspectives, stimulating the spark of thought collision and promoting the deepening of academic cooperation. Discussion and Question and Answer happened throughout the meeting. We would like to thank all the authors and speakers for their hard work and wonderful contributions, and all the experts and scholars for their attention and support to this conference. We believe that with our joint efforts, research and application in the fields of power system and smart grid will achieve more remarkable results and make greater contributions to the cause of sustainable development of mankind. Finally, we look forward to meeting again in the next International Conference on Power System Engineering and Smart Grid to discuss the future development path of power system and smart grid.
