Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Renewable energy sources (RESs), such as wind and photovoltaic (PV) power, are rapidly growing due to a drop in their generation cost and their environmentally friendly nature, and this will become the theme of the next generation of power systems within the goal of carbon neutrality. However, as the penetration of RESs climbs, reverse power flows and distributed power iterations may challenge both the traditional voltage regulation system and protection scheduling in distribution systems. Furthermore, such an ongoing process of RES integration will induce significant power fluctuations on the power supply side, and it will simultaneously also continuously reduce the inertia of the power system. The combined effect of low inertia and significant power fluctuations challenges the frequency stability even in large power systems.
In addition, uncertainties of RESs are significantly introduced into both the generation side and demand side, which consequently challenge the effectiveness of traditional methods in the condition assessment, fault diagnosis, and life cycle management of power components in power systems. This requires innovations in the modeling, control, and state estimation of power systems, as well as life prediction, extension, and condition assessment.
This Special Issue aims to present and disseminate the most recent advances that are able to address challenges induced by large-scale RES integration, as discussed above.
Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Operation and control of power systems with new energy sources.
- Measurement and control of transportation energy integrated systems.
- Modeling and control of renewable power generation.
- Life cycle assessment, pricing, policies, and energy planning.
- Artificial intelligence for renewable energies.
- Advanced monitoring, diagnosis, and big data analytic methods of electrical equipment.
- Ultra-low- and near-zero-energy consumption buildings with renewable energy integration.
- Power electronic converters and drives.
- Modeling of communication–control coupled systems.
- Frequency regulation in low-inertia systems with high wind penetration.
- Big data for industrial and energy systems.
- Smart metering, measurement, instrumentation, and control.
- Artificial intelligence for industrial process optimization.
- Optimization of industrial applications and energy systems.

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. Energies is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
