Flexibility Regulation and Operational Optimization of New-Type Power Systems

Dear Colleagues,

As the world moves towards sustainable development, traditional fossil-fuel-based power systems are giving way to new-type ones with high renewable energy penetration. However, renewable sources, such as wind and solar, are intermittent and volatile, causing power generation fluctuations that disrupt supply-demand balance, risking power quality and system stability. To tackle this, flexibility regulation allows the system to swiftly adjust generation, consumption, and storage in response to changes, accommodating renewable variability for a reliable power supply. Given the complexity of integrating multiple energy sources and advanced tech, it uses algorithms to optimize resource dispatch and management, minimizing costs and emissions while boosting reliability.

This Special Issue aims to present and disseminate the most recent advances related to the theory, design, modeling, and application control of all types of new-type power systems.

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

• Computation intelligence in electrical engineering;
• Distributed generation, fuel cells and renewable;
• Energy systems and flexibility regulation;
• Joint operation control of cascaded hydropower stations;
• Engineering optimized scheduling;
• Intelligent control systems;
• Intelligent systems and approach;
• Power system modeling, simulation and analysis;
• Predictive control;
• Operational optimization of integrated energy systems;
• Virtual power plant;
• New-type energy planning.

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.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 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.
