Renewable Energy Integrated Power Systems for Optimal Control, Operation and Sustainable Power Supply

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue will address the critical global imperative to combat climate change and ensure long-term energy security by accelerating the transition to sustainable power systems. The shift from fossil-based infrastructure to renewable energy sources represents one of the most profound technological and socioeconomic transformations of our time. We aim to explore technological innovations, policy frameworks, economic models, and analyses of the socio-environmental impacts related to renewable energy deployment. The scope of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, solar, wind, hydro, biomass, and geothermal energy, as well as means to facilitate the utilization and accommodation of renewable energy. By fostering this holistic dialogue, this Special Issue aims to generate actionable insights for designing energy futures that are not only low-carbon and resilient, but also equitable, accessible, and aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals across diverse global contexts.

This Special Issue seeks to bridge gaps between technological potential and practical implementation while also highlighting the role of policy, governance, and community engagement in achieving sustainable energy systems. Contributions are expected to align with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy) and SDG 13 (Climate Action).
