Energies: Advances in Sustainable PV/Wind Power System

Dear Colleagues,

As a result of the increase in population and economic growth in developing countries, the world's energy demand is increasing dramatically, depleting fossil fuel reserves while hurting the environment and jeopardizing sustainability. Scientists worldwide are working toward attaining sustainable development, which means creating renewable energy for societal growth while minimizing environmental impact. Renewable energy, particularly solar and wind energy, is becoming more widely recognized to achieve a safe and secure environment. This will assist us in reducing our carbon footprint on the environment. However, further research in solar and wind energy technologies is required to create next-generation renewable energy technologies that will ensure the widespread use of renewable energy in the future.

This Special Issue will feature recent advances in solar and wind energy technologies, focusing on efficient and dependable renewable energy conversion, transmission, storage, and consumption for a sustainable society. Original contributions, review papers, and tutorials on modeling, control, and operation of wind and solar PV energy systems to conform with grid codes and offer network support are invited for consideration for publication in this special issue. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Wind and solar PV system modelling, control, and optimization
• Grid integration methods for Wind and PV system
• Stability issues due to high penetration of Wind and PV power into the grid
• Onshore, offshore, and floating wind farms
• Coordination between wind/solar PV farms and energy storage systems to provide ancillary services
• Fault ride-through capability of Wind and PV system
• Hybrid energy systems (e.g., PV+ESS; Wind+ESS, others) and their modeling and control
• LCOE and LCA analysis comparison
• Control and dynamics of wind farms HVDC transmission systems
• Future grid code proposals
• Forecasting methods for PV and Wind power
• MPPT algorithms for extracting maximum power from PV and Wind farms
• DC-DC and DC-AC converters topology and control
• Applications of PV and Wind systems in smart grid and microgrid systems
• Techno-economic analysis of PV and Wind farms based 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 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.
