Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to invite you to submit your original research, overview papers, and reviews to this Special Issue of Energies on “New Trends in Power Generation for Modern Renewable Energy”.

The current global context in the energy sector, along with intense efforts to combat global warming through international policies, has resulted in innovative solutions that may cover the energy demands of all sectors.

Humans have always been looking for viable and sustainable alternatives to traditional energy resources, and now the implementation of renewable energy-based technologies has become imperative.

Classical fossil fuels, which have a major contribution to environmental pollution, will be gradually phased out over time in favour of clean and renewable energy sources.
In the context of the European Energy Directives for the period 2020-2035 and the perspectives for 2050, the next generations of energy systems and associated technologies based on modern renewable energy have a high potential to reduce the energy consumption of conventional fuels, they implicitly have a significant impact in reducing pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, generating clean energy with decreasing financial effort.

In light of the European energy directives 2020-2035 and 2050 perspectives, the next-generation energy systems and related modern renewable energy-based technologies have a high potential to reduce the energy consumption of traditional fuels, a significant impact on reducing pollution and greenhouse gases, generating clean energy with less financial effort.

This Special Issue aims to present and disseminate the most recent advances related to the theory, algorithm, design, modelling, application, assessment, control, condition monitoring, optimal planning, development and implementation strategies and policies, challenges and way forward of power generation for modern renewable energy. 

Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to:

  • Endless renewable energy potential (solar, wind, oceanic, nuclear, geothermal, bioenergy, hydrogen energy, tritium energy);
  • Advances and applications of renewable energy;
  • Clean energy conversion technologies;
  • Renewable energy and energy storage systems;
  • Optimal consumption planning;
  • Smart grids and microgrids;
  • Clean energy in a circular economy;
  • Application of renewable energy technologies;
  •  Machine learning models in forecasting of virtual power plant;
  • Digital Twin technology applications for power generation of modern renewable energy; 
  • AI-enabled energy management systems.

This study investigates resource adequacy and renewable energy integration in the United States, European Union, and Pakistan amid global energy market liberalization and greenhouse gas reduction efforts. It explores how these regions are adapting to the surge in renewable sources like wind and solar, which, despite their financial and environmental benefits, challenge resource adequacy and the economic viability of traditional energy sources. In the US and EU, significant improvements have been introduced in wholesale electricity markets and capacity accreditation mechanisms, which enhanced the large-scale deployment of renewables. This shift has prompted a reevaluation of resource adequacy, leading to the increased deployment of battery storage and demand response. Presently, gas-based generation is largely upholding resource adequacy; however, future trends indicate a move towards greater consumer participation, energy efficiency, and utility-scale storage, with a decline in fossil fuel use. Pakistan aims to adopt a liberalized market structure by balancing competitive markets with legacy contracts. Public pressure is driving a shift from costly fossil-based generation to renewables. Similarly, a trend in the rise of behind-the-meter solar generation can be witnessed. In the future, Pakistan may also experience resource adequacy challenges. It will likely need to implement battery storage, demand response, and modern capacity accreditation tools, by drawing lessons from developed markets. Full article
