Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The global transition towards renewable energy is critical for mitigating climate change and achieving sustainable development, particularly within the context of smart cities. As the penetration of renewable energy sources, such as solar, wind, hydro, and energy storage systems, increases, the need for the efficient integration, management, and optimization of these systems within urban environments becomes significant. In smart cities, this not only involves the integration of renewable energy systems but also their coordination with other infrastructures, such as transportation systems and smart buildings. Modelling and optimizing renewable energy systems can enhance grid stability, improve resource utilization, facilitate the integration of diverse energy sources, and yield significant economic and environmental benefits, making cities smarter.
The aim of this Special Issue is to bring together cutting-edge research and developments in the modelling, management, and optimization of renewable
energy systems in smart cities. By providing a platform for researchers to share their findings, this Special Issue seeks to enhance the understanding and implementation of renewable energy systems. This Special Issue addresses crucial topics including innovative technologies and the in-depth research of renewable energy systems integrated into the grid and other urban infrastructures, all of which are vital for the sustainable development of smart cities.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Control and management of renewable energy systems;
- Modelling and optimization of renewable energy systems;
- Renewable energy systems and technologies for smart cities;
- Coordination of renewable energy systems with transportation systems;
- Coordination of renewable energy systems with urban infrastructure;
- Smart buildings and their interaction with renewable energy systems;
- Battery energy storage applications in smart cities;
- Renewable energy systems in modern electricity markets;
- Economic analysis of renewable energy systems;
- Prediction technologies for renewable energy;
- Electronics in renewable energy systems.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
