Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Households, communities, businesses, and nations rely on energy systems for production and consumption activities. Whether it is food production, entertainment, manufacturing, or technology development, there is not a part of the economy that does not derive value from energy services. As a result, we must ensure that our energy systems, whether powered by renewable energy sources or fossil-based fuels, are reliable and resilient to human-made and natural shocks while ensuring access to the most vulnerable parts of our society. More importantly, we need to invest in innovative and cost-effective ways of making the system more environmentally friendly.
This Special Issue aims to present the most recent technological advances within the energy system that achieve multiple objectives, such as lower technical losses as well as higher reliability rates. The issue also seeks to disseminate alternative methodologies for evaluating the environmental and economic impacts of new ways of generating and managing energy. Furthermore, the issue explores new ways of organizing energy stakeholders and actors to achieve social goals such as the maximization of environmental protection.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Energy valuation
- Electric rate design
- Energy business models
- Energy policy
- Carbon capture and storage
- Smart energy systems
- Energy efficiency
- Hybrid energy systems
- Green electricity
- Grid resiliency
- Energy planning
- Distributed energy
- Renewable energy sources
