Forecasting and Optimization Methods for High Renewable Penetration Power Systems

Dear Colleagues,

With the increasing integration of renewable energy sources such as wind and solar, along with distributed generation, energy storage, and flexible loads, traditional power systems are facing new challenges. The high penetration of renewable energy leads to increased uncertainties, fluctuations, and complex operational constraints, making advanced forecasting and optimization technologies essential.

This Special Issue, entitled “Forecasting and Optimization Methods for High Renewable Penetration Power Systems”, will focus on new theories, models, algorithms, and practical applications for the forecasting, optimization, planning, operation, and control of systems with high levels of renewable energy integration. Our goal is to explore how advanced forecasting and optimization methods can support efficient, reliable, and low-carbon operation in these evolving power systems.

We invite contributions that present innovative solutions and real-world case studies and discuss challenges such as scalability, data quality, and operational reliability. This Special Issue will provide a platform for both academic and industry researchers to share insights into improving the operation of high-penetration 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-anonymized 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.
