Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Decarbonization of the energy sector and reduction of carbon emissions to limit climate change is at the heart of the Paris Agreement. Achieving the Paris Climate goals would require significant acceleration across a range of sectors and technologies. Wind power and solar energy will lead the way for the transformation of the global electricity sector, as they are the most mature technologies deployed worldwide. The massive deployment to mitigate climate change needs to address systemic issues, which are at the core of this Special Issue. The five biggest challenges that solar and wind power pose to the grid are their variability, uncertain prediction, location specificity, nonsynchronous generation, and low capacity factor. With regard to these challenges, the following aspects will be given priority in the Special Issue: wind and solar resource assessment, wind and solar resource forecasting, wind and solar infrastructure vulnerability and resilience, integration of intermittent wind and solar energy in the grid, and wind and solar energy economy and policy.

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. Energies 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 2600 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.
