Applications of Advanced Control and Optimization Paradigms in Renewable Energy Systems
This special issue belongs to the section "A: Sustainable Energy".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
To achieve net-zero carbon emissions worldwide by 2050, energy transition from traditional power generation towards clean, flexible, and affordable renewable power generation is needed instantly. However, there are many technical issues in deploying renewable power generation. The highly variable, non-controllable, and stochastic nature of renewable energy generation creates power quality, stability concerns, and inconsistency in power systems. Using proper control and optimization methods would yield superior power quality and stability within the standard parameters imposed by the power industry and energy market. This Special Issue aims to disseminate state-of-the-art research and contribute to the applications of control and optimization paradigms in renewable energy systems. The application topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Advanced control methods (fuzzy, artificial intelligence, neuro-fuzzy control, sliding-mode control, backstepping control, adaptive and predictive control, data-driven control, etc.);
- Optimization methods (swarm optimization, genetic algorithms, Newton–Raphson, bacterial foraging optimization, simulated annealing, linear programming, hybrid optimization methods, etc.);
- Other methods (any improved control and/or optimization method dealing with renewable energy 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 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-anonymized 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.
