Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The large-scale integration of renewable energy sources into power grids has introduced significant challenges in terms of grid safety, stability, and power quality control due to their inherent stochasticity and intermittency. Hydrogen energy, as a high-efficiency and clean secondary energy carrier, demonstrates unique advantages in renewable energy utilization, enhancing grid flexibility, and complementing multi-energy systems. Through the electricity–hydrogen–electricity cycle, hydrogen energy enables flexible regulation across generation, grid, load, and storage systems. However, its technological development—from component R&D and system integration to field-level deployment—faces multiple bottlenecks and planning challenges due to its interdisciplinary nature, as it involves power electronics, materials science, chemical engineering, and automation control.
This Special Issue aims to present and disseminate cutting-edge advances in the integration of hydrogen energy into power systems, focusing on the mechanisms enabling synergetic "generation–grid–load–storage" frameworks, electricity–hydrogen–electricity conversion technologies, multi-scenario storage and flexibility control strategies, system planning with economic analysis, and the cross-disciplinary standardization of technology.
Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Green hydrogen production technologies and renewable energy coupling mechanisms;
- Hydrogen fuel cell power generation and grid operation strategies;
- Core hydrogen technologies and equipment development;
- Multi-timescale regulation strategies for hydrogen-integrated source, grid, load, and storage systems;
- Hydrogen backup power systems and grid black-start coordination in extreme scenarios;
- Multi-energy collaborative planning for wind–hydrogen-storage-integrated mega-bases;
- Dynamic scheduling and energy management in hydrogen microgrids with electricity–heat–hydrogen coupling;
- Planning, scheduling, and economic analysis of hydrogen–ammonia–alcohol hybrid multi-energy systems;
- Digital twin technologies and intelligent regulation for hydrogen–electricity coupled 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 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. Energies is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
