Implementation of Renewable Energy in Power Distribution Systems Using Digitalization

Dear Colleagues,

The use of renewable energy sources makes it possible to reduce the consumption of traditional hydrocarbon energy carriers, which is a global priority direction for the development of science and technology. The integration of renewable energy sources (RES) into power grids is a significant global trend impacting various problems in specific conditions of particular countries. To operate RES more reliably and affordably, new digital decisions need to be proposed. The implementation of DT in RES to manage their day-to-day operations and optimize performance increases efficiency and speeds up the binding target of the EU outlining that the share of electricity produced by renewables must grow to 50% by 2030.

The aim of this Special issue is to study the digitalization of Renewable Energy Sources (RES), creating Digital Twins (DTs), supporting the balancing of the power grid and increasing the flexibility of the energy system, possible through dispatchable renewable energy sources.

For this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:

• Implementation of renewable energy sources
• Analysis of available technical means
• Development of technological schemes implementation RES in the power grid
• Simulation photovoltaic system
• Conditions for stable operation of microgrids together with centralized networks;
• Formation of practical recommendations for the construction of energy supply systems of multi-purpose objects based on renewable energy.
• Model microgrid with renewable energy sources
• DT microgrid and RES
• Formation of optimal parameters of the power supply system according to the criterion of cost minimization and energy efficiency
• Developing the composition of equipment (the number, type, and location of electrical modules, inverters, and storage systems, taking into account the terrain and meteorological conditions)
• Using modern software for simulation RES
• Degradation PV module

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Electronics 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.
