Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
You are cordially invited to submit your original research or review papers to this Special Issue on “Latest Trends in Renewable Energy Systems and PV-Based DC Microgrids” in Applied Sciences.
This Special Issue will focus on the recent trends and technologies in renewable energy resources, such as solar, wind, and fuel cell, which will enhance the usage of renewable energy resources to meet the current energy crisis.
This Special issue is focused on new products in the microgrid environment, storage systems, novel concepts, and their applications. Among the areas of interest are energy efficiency, system integration, fault mitigation, and control techniques.
Some specific topics include recent trends in the development of renewable energy resources, the development of DC microgrids, modeling, integration, protection techniques, modeling of PV, wind, fuel cell, power enhancement techniques, fault mitigation, energy storage systems, electric vehicle charging, and DC lighting technologies. Some new research areas, including marine technology and hybrid electric vehicles, are also welcome. Some specific new application areas include microgrids for rural electrification, PV systems for industrial applications, converter and inverter topologies for renewable energy resources, energy technologies from renewables, energy engineering, mechanical engineering, environmental engineering, the spatial allocation of renewables in remote and off-the grid systems, the supplementary role of renewables in energy production from mainland grid systems, the social perception of increasing energy sharing from renewables to national energy mixes, land use/land cover upon energy infrastructures, geomorphology specifications, as well as models’ development upon renewables’ utilization.
Objective of this special issue
This Special Issue seeks to produce a collection of papers from various disciplines, focusing on understanding how the institutional and regulatory context shapes the character of renewable energy. This Special Issue is dedicated to exploring methods and applications aiming at performing a quantitative assessment of the sustainability of design, planning, and technology solutions implemented in the domain of renewable energy. This Special Issue is an opportunity to describe visions as we enter a period of a renewable energy world.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs).
