Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Developing renewable energy sources has become a strategic choice worldwide to combat the energy crisis and achieve carbon-neutral targets. A hybrid energy system with renewable energy sources, combined heat and power generation, and energy storage devices is a promising option to improve system efficiency, enhance energy supply reliability, and promote traditional energy system transition. Sustainable planning and operation management of the hybrid energy system are two critical issues that need to be addressed. However, various factors such as technical, technological, sociopolitical, environmental, and economic factors need to be considered when implementing a hybrid energy system. Meanwhile, intermittent renewable energy generation, complementary of multi renewable energy sources, stochastic energy demand, fluctuant energy prices, as well as ambiguous policy bring great challenges to decision makers. Despite the fruitful literature, more advanced decision-making tools and multidisciplinary methods are desired to address the outstanding challenges in the planning and management of hybrid energy systems under various complexities and uncertainties.
We welcome original research articles, reviews, case, and analytical studies, as well as papers from different disciplines, which are relevant to advanced decision-making methods for hybrid energy system planning and management.
