Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As the global push towards sustainable energy intensifies, the integration of renewable energy sources (RESs) into modern power grids has become a critical focus for researchers, policymakers, and industry professionals alike. This Special Issue aims to explore cutting-edge strategies that facilitate the seamless incorporation of renewable resources—such as solar, wind, hydro, and biomass—into existing grid infrastructures.
The articles featured in this edition will delve into various innovative methodologies, including advanced grid management techniques, smart grid technologies, energy storage solutions, and demand response mechanisms. We invite contributions that highlight case studies, theoretical advancements, and practical applications demonstrating how these strategies can enhance grid stability, reliability, and efficiency while reducing carbon footprints.
Additionally, the issue will address the challenges related to the variability and intermittency of RESs, regulatory frameworks, and the socio-economic implications of transitioning towards greener energy systems. By fostering interdisciplinary collaboration and knowledge exchange, this collection seeks to inspire further research and innovation in the field, ultimately contributing to a resilient and sustainable energy future.
We welcome submissions from academics, industry experts, and practitioners that showcase novel findings or innovative practices in the integration of renewable energy into modern electrical grids.
