Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The global energy landscape is undergoing a profound transformation, driven by the urgent need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve energy efficiency, and transition to more sustainable and resilient power systems. This Special Issue, entitled "Energy Technology, Power Systems and Sustainability", invites original research and comprehensive reviews that address the development, integration, optimization, and sustainability assessment of emerging energy technologies and modern power systems.

We aim to explore how innovative solutions—from renewable energy integration and smart grid technologies to energy storage and the electrification of transport—can contribute to a cleaner, more efficient, and equitable energy future. Contributions are welcome from interdisciplinary perspectives, including technical, environmental, economic, and policy analyses. Topics may span theoretical modeling, experimental studies, case studies, and simulation-based approaches.

By bringing together insights from academia, industry, and policy, this Special Issue seeks to advance the scientific understanding and practical deployment of technologies that enable sustainable energy systems, and to highlight pathways for achieving global decarbonization goals.

Papers can be submitted on the following subtopics:

  • Renewable energy integration in smart grids;
  • Energy storage systems and management;
  • Sustainable electrification of transport;
  • Grid flexibility and demand-side management;
  • Power electronics for renewable systems;
  • Energy efficiency in industrial and residential applications;
  • Microgrids and distributed energy resources;
  • Digitalization and AI in energy systems;
  • Life cycle assessment and sustainability metrics;
  • Policy and regulatory frameworks for sustainable power systems.
