Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In light of the rapid decarbonization and decentralization of power systems, renewable energy sources have gained a great deal of attention over the recent years, taking more of the yearly share of installed power and electricity production worldwide. Wind and solar power energies provide the largest amount of energy among the renewable energy sources and have the highest growth rate both in installed power and electricity produced. Most of the world’s countries are determined to accelerate the transition towards low-carbon power systems. This means that renewable energy sources will become the world’s dominant electricity source in the years to come.
The volatility and unpredictability of electricity production from wind and solar sources presents a serious challenge for the operation and optimization of power systems. Future decarbonized and decentralized power systems will have to convert from today’s load to the generation of the following one. This will require tremendous changes in the way power systems are operated, demanding new sources of power system flexibility and adequate technology solutions to cope with the high level of power system decentralization.
This Special Issue focuses on the future challenges in the operation of power systems, specifically on renewable energy sources and corresponding solutions in terms of the development of different optimization algorithms and technology innovations.
Potential topics include the following:
- Optimal power flow algorithms;
- Renewable energy generation forecasting;
- Ancillary services from renewable energy sources;
- Energy storage systems’ role in future power system operation;
- Demand response flexibility support;
- Optimal operation of decentralized power systems;
- Optimal grid expansion planning with FACTS devices and other technology innovations.

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.
