Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the growing pressures arising from energy sustainability and climate change, the penetration of renewable energy, such as wind and solar power, is rapidly increasing. Concurrently, the predominated fuel for conventional generators is expected to be shifted from coal to cleaner fuels, such as natural gas/hydrogen, to accommodate the integration of renewable energy and meet the goal of decreasing carbon emissions. Energy coupling devices, such as natural gas-fired units/hydrogen-based generation, thus play a significant role in the transition from the traditional power system to the renewable-dominated low-carbon power system. However, in the process of transition, power system operations face various technical and economic challenges, including uncertainty, low inertia, and coupling and interdependence with other energy systems. These challenges directly impact the secure and economic operation of the power system.
This Special Issue aims to cover technical and economic issues arising from the transition of energy systems. It highlights the latest research achievements and developments in modeling, algorithms, and mechanisms for power and energy systems' secure stability, planning, operations, evaluation, market, etc. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Stability analysis and control of power and energy systems with high penetration of renewable energy;
- Evolution path analysis for the low-carbon energy transition;
- Analysis of emerging decarbonization techniques for facilitating low-carbon energy transition;
- Multi-energy synergy facilitating low-carbon energy transition;
- Reliability evaluation for power and energy systems;
- Optimal operation and planning for power and energy systems;
- Market analysis and design for power and energy systems;
- Data analytics and machine learning for power and energy systems.

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.
