Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As the integration of renewable energy sources and energy storage systems becomes increasingly crucial for the sustainability and resilience of modern electrical networks, understanding and optimizing their penetration is essential. This transition towards a more sustainable energy system presents significant challenges, as well as opportunities, in modeling, analysis, and the effective management of these resources within electrical networks.
This Special Issue aims to present and disseminate the latest research findings and advancements related to the modeling and analysis of the penetration of renewable energy sources and storage systems in electrical networks. We seek contributions that explore innovative approaches, methodologies, and technologies, incorporating renewable energy and storage solutions, to enhance the efficiency, reliability, and stability of electrical networks.
Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Modeling techniques for renewable energy integration in electrical networks;
- Analysis of the impact of renewable energy sources on grid stability and reliability;
- The role of storage systems in alleviating the demand on electrical networks;
- Smart grid technologies for renewable energy and storage management;
- Grid modernization to accommodate high levels of renewable penetration;
- Techniques for optimizing renewable energy systems for low-voltage network usage;
- Economic and environmental impacts of renewable energy and storage systems;
- Electricity management systems in the low-voltage network (domestic use);
- Policy and regulatory aspects of renewable energy and storage penetration;
- Market impacts on the integration of renewable energy sources.
