Wind/PV/Hydrogen Integrated Energy System for a Clean Future

Dear Colleagues,

Energy production and consumption are the largest sources of carbon dioxide emissions. Vigorously promoting emission reduction in the energy field is a key measure for building a clean, low-carbon, safe and efficient modern energy system. The large-scale development and utilization of clean energy, dominated by wind and solar energy, is an important guarantee to support the low-carbon transformation in the energy field. However, the full utilization and consumption of renewable energy power generation (e.g., wind and photovoltaic) still face difficulties and challenges, especially the problem of full consumption. The development and layout of multi-energy complementarity, coupling and interaction, and collaborative integrated energy systems can effectively solve the above problems. Therefore, there is an urgent need to study the mechanism, planning and design, optimized operation, development mode and carbon emission reduction of integrated energy systems coupled with renewable energy generation and hydrogen energy, in order to promote their further development and help realize a clean future. This field will integrate the knowledge and methodology from energy science, power electronics, management science and economics. We welcome full-length articles and review articles on topics including, but not limited to, the following:

• Realization mechanism of multi-energy complementarity;
• Techno-economic analysis of green energy systems;
• Planning and design of integrated energy systems;
• Capacity configuration and operation optimization;
• Application of big data and artificial intelligence;
• Interest sharing of integrated energy systems;
• Hydrogen generation from renewable energy;
• Carbon reduction assessment;
• Development mode of integrated energy systems;
• Energy and digital economy;
• Energy policy and incentive strategy.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
