Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Energy is the foundation of economic and social development and an important material guarantee for the survival and development of human society. Throughout the history of the development of human society, every major progress in human civilization has been accompanied by the improvement in and replacement of energy. At present, global climate warming and energy supply security have become major strategic issues of common concern to all countries in the world. The idea of sustainable development has gradually become the consensus of the international community. Energy conservation, energy utilization improvement, and development of renewable energy and sustainable energy are becoming the main theme of world energy development. Forecasts have shown that by the middle of this century, with the further growth in energy demand and the gradual depletion of fossil energy resources, renewable energy and sustainable energy will occupy an increasingly important position in the world's energy production and consumption, becoming the most important material basis for human survival and development. Therefore, renewable energy and sustainable energy systems have become highly valued by more and more countries and become the focus of the international energy field.
This Special Issue aims to communicate the most interesting and relevant critical thinking in renewable and sustainable energy systems, promote and disseminate knowledge on the various topics and technologies of renewable and sustainable energy systems and components, and share problems, solutions and novel ideas and technologies to support sustainable development and the transition to a low carbon future. This Special Issue will publish papers on scientific research, technology development, engineering policy, and management studies related to the general field of renewable and sustainable energy systems.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Source—fossil fuels, geothermal, hydrogen, hydropower, nuclear, marine and ocean, solar and wind.
- Energy—energy efficiency, energy conversion, energy management, energy sustainability, energy policy, and economics.
- Applications—buildings, industry, transport, and urban community.
- Utilization—batteries, supercapacitors, fuel cells, and energy storage technology.
- System—system reliability, systems operation.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
