Sustainable Power Systems: Energy Storage, Renewable Integration, and Smart Grid Technologies

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue, “Sustainable Power Systems: Energy Storage, Renewable Integration, and Smart Grid Technologies”, aims to explore innovative strategies and technologies that promote the sustainable transformation of modern power systems. Its focus is on improving energy efficiency, reducing carbon emissions, and integrating renewable energy sources through advanced control and power electronics. Its scope includes smart grid technologies, energy storage systems, sustainable electrification, and digital control solutions that enhance the performance and resilience of power infrastructures. The purpose of this Special Issue is to provide a multidisciplinary platform connecting engineering, environmental, and socio-economic perspectives to address the global energy transition.

This Special Issue will supplement existing literature by emphasising practical and quantitative approaches to sustainability, including tools for assessing energy efficiency, policies supporting low-carbon systems, and applications of sustainable technologies in real-world scenarios. It contributes to sustainability by linking scientific innovation with societal impact, thereby fostering cleaner and smarter energy systems that support a sustainable future.

We invite authors to submit original research that supports the development of sustainable power systems.
