Risk Assessment of Innovative Energy Systems
This special issue belongs to the section “C: Energy Economics and Policy“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Climate change is one of the most important challenges in the world. Numerous countries have released their carbon neutrality goals around the middle of this century. Considering the large part of emissions from energy systems, identifying how to build an innovative energy system with less carbon emissions will be essential for a carbon-neutral society. The Guest Editor is inviting submissions to a Special Issue of Energies on the subject area of “Risk Assessment of Innovative Energy Systems”. Optimization and control techniques are important for efficient modeling of the risk of innovative energy systems. There have been many emerging techniques for renewable energy systems, zero-emission techniques, hydrogen energy systems, etc. Moreover, highly flexible energy systems with huge risks are an interesting topic for energy and climate change economics researchers.
This Special Issue will deal with risk assessment for future innovative energy systems with renewable sources, secondary energy sources (hydrogen), CCUS-based techniques, etc. Topics of interest for publication include but are not limited to:
- Climate change risks on energy systems;
- Energy storage systems and risks;
- Energy management systems;
- Conventional energy systems and risks;
- Optimal operation of renewable energy;
- Demand side management;
- Resilient energy systems modeling.

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.
