Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The transition to sustainable energy systems is imperative for addressing climate change, improving energy security, and enhancing efficiency, and this Special Issue will highlight cutting-edge research, novel methodologies, and technological advancements in optimising energy systems, integrating renewable energy, and promoting sustainable energy practices. Additionally, this Special Issue of Sustainability aims to provide a comprehensive platform for researchers, policymakers, and industry professionals to share insights and solutions that drive the future of energy systems.
The growing body of literature on energy system optimisation, integration, and sustainability highlights the importance of interdisciplinary approaches in terms of addressing global energy challenges. This Special Issue builds upon these foundational studies by encouraging novel contributions that extend existing methodologies and propose new frameworks for advancing renewable energy integration and sustainability.
Researchers and professionals are invited to submit original research articles, case studies, and review papers covering theoretical and practical aspects of energy system optimisation, renewable energy integration, and sustainability. Accepted papers will contribute to a growing body of knowledge and inform future research, policy, and practice.
