Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, with the increasingly severe problem of global climate change and fossil energy shortage, decarbonization strategies have been widely established by many countries. Renewable energy does not produce pollutants and contributes to sustainable society and economic growth with much lower carbon emissions. To achieve this objective, renewable energy sources (RES) such as wind power and photovoltaic (PV) are developed very quickly.
However, the randomness and variability of RES power threaten power grid operation, and generation curtailment significantly restricts the expansion of RES energy. Complementary management of RES power with other power sources provides an effective way to address this challenge. To this end, the coordination of flexible resources and renewable energy is preferred as an optional power source for replacing fossil fuels to alleviate the weather crisis and achieve cleaner and more sustainable energy systems.
This Special Issue aims at shedding light on potential technological and regulatory solutions to the trustworthy, economic, and complementary operation of renewable energy.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Prediction, modeling, and valuation of renewable energy generation.
- Research mode and economy of complementary systems.
- Integrated modeling and simulation technology of renewable energy systems.
- Efficient and secure grid integration of massive renewable energy resources.
- Optimal design and sizing for off-grid hybrid energy systems.
- Novel renewable energy-dominated hybrid systems.
- Variable transmission technologies.
- Analysis of the application prospects of energy storage technology under carbon peak and carbon neutrality.

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.
