Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The development of renewable energy plays a vitally important role in net-zero carbon emission and sustainability in power systems; however, the high penetration of renewable energy in transmission and distribution networks causes stability, security, economic, etc., which are critical issues in power engineering and renewable energy technologies. Therefore, the self-adequately and stable operation and control of the area power grid is relatively important, and the networked microgrids that have the ability of grid-tied and islanding operations are one of the key solutions to conquer this challenge. Nevertheless, the development of networked microgrids still has some key techniques to overcome the technical operation and commercial power market issues. Consequently, the Guest Editor invites researchers and scientists to publish their valuable insights from research that contribute to the relative issues of this topic.
The invited papers seek to address the critical issues of power engineering and renewable energy technologies outlined above. We would particularly welcome papers that focus on the following:
- Renewable energy technology and sustainability education in power systems
- Net-zero carbon emission technique in microgrids
- Artificial intelligence application for renewable energy generation forecasting
- Artificial intelligence application for load demand forecasting
- Energy storage technologies of microgrids
- Optimal day-ahead schedule of networked microgrids
- Optimal dynamic dispatch of networked microgrids
- Demand response strategies of microgrids
- Blockchain technique in power systems
- V2G/G2V Technique in power systems
- Seamless transition technique of networked microgrids
- Protection coordination of networked microgrids
- Cyber security of networked microgrids

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. Sustainability 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 2400 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.
