Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The overall focus of this Special Issue is to explore the topic of the "Large-Scale Integration of Renewable Energy in Electric Systems" within the context of the CYTED project—RIBIERSE (https://www.cyted.org/RIBIERSE-CYTED). The scope of this Special Issue encompasses various aspects of the chain, including technical, economic, and policy considerations. Moreover, the purpose of this Special Issue is to provide a platform for researchers, industry professionals, and policymakers to share their findings, insights, and experiences regarding the challenges and opportunities associated with the integration of renewable energy sources and electric vehicles into electric systems on a large scale. The focus of this Special Issue is on the integration of renewable energy sources, such as solar, wind, hydro, and geothermal, into existing electric systems and electric vehicles. It aims to address the technical, economic, and policy aspects of this integration, exploring innovative approaches, best practices, and lessons learned. This Special Issue will also aim to bridge the gap between academia and industry by featuring articles that not only present theoretical frameworks but also highlight practical implications and applications.
The scope of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, the following topics:
- Spatiotemporal macro/micro-simulation methodologies to evaluate the potential for electric generation with renewable sources.
- Technical challenges and solutions for integrating large amounts of renewable energy into electric grids.
- Economic implications and cost-effectiveness of renewable energy integration.
- Policy frameworks, regulations, and incentives that promote the large-scale integration of renewable energy.
- Grid stability, reliability, and resilience in the presence of high penetrations of renewable energy sources.
- Energy storage and electric vehicle technologies and their role in facilitating the integration of renewable energy.
- Case studies and real-world experiences from different regions/countries that have successfully integrated renewable energy into their electric systems.
- Training of technicians from municipal entities and local companies in decision making on the development of electrical systems.

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. Energies 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 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
