Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are currently inviting submissions to a Special Issue of Electronics entitled Renewable Energy and the Grid: Management & Control. Enhancing the integration of renewable power generation from wind and solar into the traditional power network requires mitigation of the vulnerabilities that affect the grid as a result of the intermittent nature of these resources. Variability and ramp events in power output are key challenges faced by system operators due to their impact on system balancing, reserves management, scheduling, and commitment of generation units.
This Special Issue aims to present the development of an energy management system for a renewable power generation tool that aims to achieve power-dispatching strategies based on forecasting renewable energy resource outputs to guarantee optimal dispatch of hybrid wind–solar photovoltaic power systems. The following are the key points of this Special Issue:
- Renewable energy management in modern and future smart power systems;
- Renewable energy control systems;
- Renewable and clean energy;
- Energy decarburization;
- Energy management systems;
- Real-time digital simulator;
- High penetration level of renewable energy sources;
- Real-world power systems.
This Special Issue discusses the challenges faced in integrating renewable resources (e.g., low inertia systems, hosting capacity limitations of the existing power systems, and weak grids). It further covers the detailed topologies, operation principles, recent development in control techniques, and the stability of power systems with large-scale renewables. Finally, it presents case studies of recent projects from around the world that are dispatchable power plant techniques used to enhance the operation of the power system.

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.
