Special Issue Information
The global energy landscape is rapidly transforming, driven by the need to transition towards sustainable, low-carbon energy systems. This Special Issue focuses on the integration of renewable energy systems (RESs) into power grids, a crucial topic in achieving global energy and climate goals. As renewable energy sources increasingly dominate the energy mix, their integration into existing power grids presents technical, operational, and economic challenges.
The Special Issue aims to present and disseminate the most recent advances related to key aspects of renewable energy integration and bring together diverse perspectives. It seeks to contribute to the global discussion on decarbonizing the power sector by advancing scientific knowledge and practical know-how. It is designed for academics, industry professionals, and policymakers aiming to foster the reliable and efficient incorporation of renewables into the grid.
Authors are encouraged to present original work, comparative studies, or interdisciplinary approaches that highlight the multifaceted challenges and solutions in this domain. By fostering a collaborative exchange of ideas, this Special Issue aspires to shape the next generation of sustainable energy systems, ensuring resilience and accessibility for future power grids.
This Special Issue invites cutting-edge research and comprehensive reviews that address these complexities and explore innovative solutions.
Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Enabling technologies for the energy transition;
- Grid stability and reliability;
- Energy storage and flexibility;
- Advanced control and management systems;
- Grid modernization and digitalization;
- Innovative network schemes;
- Policy and economic analyses;
- Case studies and real-world implementations.
