Advances in Renewable Energy Integration in Power System

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, against the backdrop of the accelerating global energy transition, significant progress has been made in integrating renewable energy into power systems. Intermittent energy sources such as wind and solar power have evolved from supplementary roles to becoming the backbone of the electricity mix in many countries, significantly contributing to the formation of a low-carbon society. The key to driving the large-scale development of renewable energy lies in the synergistic advancement of continuous technological innovation and reforms in power systems. On the one hand, investments in and the construction of renewable energy projects continue to expand, accompanied by a consistent decline in power generation costs. On the other hand, to address the uncertainties of wind and solar power generation, the flexibility and intelligence of power grids have been significantly enhanced. Large-scale energy storage technologies, the forecasting and real-time dispatch of distributed power sources, and demand response mechanisms have effectively supported the grid integration and utilization of renewable energy.

This Special Issue aims to introduce and disseminate the latest advances related to the theories, forecasting, applications, modeling, grid integration, and dispatch of various renewable energy sources.

Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to, the following:

• The grid integration, accommodation, and optimized operation of renewable energy, including the planning and operation of power systems with a high proportion of renewable energy, technologies for enhancing renewable energy accommodation capacity, the coordinated optimal dispatch of generation–grid–load–storage and others.
• The efficient conversion and clean utilization of renewable energy, the design and manufacturing of wind turbines, and other renewable energy power generation technologies.
• Carbon emissions, carbon flow, and other aspects related to the low-carbon–carbon operation of renewable energy in power systems.
• Renewable energy output forecasting technologies.
• Energy storage technologies and applications for renewable energy.
• Policy and market mechanism design for renewable energy integration.
• Multi-energy complementary systems.
• Demand response.
• Assessments of renewable energy accommodation capacity.
• Assessments of renewable energy power system reliability.
