Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Driven by the global energy transition and carbon neutrality goals, renewable energy systems are undergoing unprecedented innovative development. With the continuous expansion of the installed capacity of renewable energy sources such as wind power and photovoltaic power, their volatility and intermittency pose challenges to the stable operation of the power system. Hydrogen energy, as an ideal energy carrier, provides an innovative solution for the large-scale consumption of renewable energy. At present, the efficiency of hydrogen production technology from renewable energy has significantly improved, and the costs of hydrogen storage and transportation have continued to decline, creating favorable conditions for their coordinated development. However, key issues such as system integration optimization, economic improvement, and safe operation still require in-depth research.
This Special Issue aims to present and disseminate the most recent advances related to innovation in renewable energy power generation technology, hydrogen production and energy storage from renewable energy, and system integration and policies.
Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to the following:
- Research and development of high-efficiency photovoltaic/wind power technologies;
- Renewable energy prediction and intelligent regulation;
- Progress in hydrogen production technology by water electrolysis;
- Optimization of wind-solar-hydrogen coupling system;
- Design of multi-energy complementary energy system;
- Multi-Scenario Carbon Capture Technology;
- Policy support and business model.

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.
