Design and Control of Smart Renewable Energy Systems

Dear Colleagues,

The development of next-generation smart grids, especially smart renewable energy systems, is key in achieving carbon neutrality. The progress of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies and other modern control methods has enabled the transition towards new kinds of smart renewable energy system design. On the other hand, the appropriate design and intelligent control of renewable energy systems can help us to extract high-value system operation data and guide the new paradigm of decision-making processes. This Special Issue is dedicated to research related to new kinds of design and control methods for general energy systems with renewable energy resources, AI-based control strategies, efficient optimization and control methods for system operation, renewable energy system infrastructure and data-driven smart decision-making methods.

General topics covered in this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Next-generation renewable energy system design;
• Control and energy management strategies;
• Uncertainty modeling of renewable energy systems;
• AI-based decision-making methods;
• Data analytics in renewable energy generation and consumption;
• Electrified transportation and renewable energy systems;
• Grid-interactive buildings with distributed renewable resources;
• Efficient optimization and control method for renewable energy systems;
• New equipment and devices for renewable energy resources;
• Policy and market mechanisms for renewable 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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
