The "China's carbon peak and neutrality" objectives have demonstrated that China, as a responsible great power, is dedicated to building the human community with a shared future. At the Ninth Meeting of the Central Committee for Financial and Economic Affairs convened on Mar. 15, 2021, it was proposed to build a new power system with new energy as its core to work towards "China's carbon peak and neutrality" objectives. The new power system, which will underline the dominant role played by and technical transformation brought by new energy, will become a clean, low-carbon, safe, controllable, flexible, efficient, smart, friendly, open, and interactive system. However, with large-scale access of new energy to the power system in succession, the balance, safety and stability control, etc., for power and energy will be faced with unprecedented challenges. For this purpose, how to step up efforts in technical R&D for new energy storage technology to improve the supply-demand balance capacity and guarantee the safe and steady operation of new power systems is a critical bottleneck problem to be urgently solved and further deeply studied. In this context, Xia Chenyang, a professor from China University of Mining and Technology, and Zang Haixiang, an associate professor from Hohai University, are invited by the Editorial Board of Southern Energy Construction to, as Contributing Co-Chief Editors, jointly plan and preside over the Special Issue of "New Power System and Energy Storage Technology" that is to be formally punished in Dec. 2022, in order to jointly promote the scientific communication and academic exchange in the field of power and energy.

Contributions to this Special Issue include but are not limited to:

1. Morphology and evolution of new power system;

2. Stability analysis and control for access of new energy to the power system at a higher proportion;

3. Prediction, control, and consumption technologies for new energy power generation;

4. Power supply-grid-load-storage collaborative planning technology under the new power system;

5. Power balancing and scheduling technology for new power system;

6. Demand-side resource estimation, aggregation, and scheduling technology for new energy consumption;

7. Power supply-grid-load-storage coordinative optimization technology to facilitate access to new energy;

8. Energy storage and sharing technology and business model aimed at new power system;

9. Technology to prepare, store and comprehensively utilize hydrogen energy under the new power system;

10. AC/DC integrated analysis and control technology for new power system;

11. New-generation large-scale energy storage technologies, including compressed-air energy storage, pumped energy storage, etc.;

12. Construction and modeling technology for PV-charging-storage integrated power station;

13. Multi-energy collaborative control, management, and O&M technology;

14. Other issues associated with planning and operation of the new power system.
