Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the rapid global transition towards carbon neutrality, the integration of high-penetration renewable energy, the proliferation of distributed generation, and the evolution towards resilient and intelligent power systems have become critical research frontiers. This Special Issue aims to provide a premier interdisciplinary platform for disseminating cutting-edge research and innovative solutions addressing the technical, operational, and planning challenges in this transformative era. We invite original research and review articles that explore novel theories, methodologies, and applications.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Grid Integration of Variable Renewables: Forecasting, stability analysis, grid-forming control, and storage synergy.
- Advanced Distributed Energy Resources (DERs): Optimization, control, protection, and peer-to-peer energy trading in microgrids and virtual power plants.
- Planning and Operation of Modern Power Systems: Hosting capacity assessment, resilient grid architecture, cyber–physical security, and interoperability.
- Data-Driven and AI-Enabled Technologies: Applications of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and big data analytics for monitoring, diagnostics, and decision support.
- Market Mechanisms and Policy: Regulatory frameworks, business models, and market design for facilitating the energy transition.
We welcome contributions from academia, industry, and research institutions. Submitted manuscripts will undergo a rigorous peer-review process. Join us in advancing the knowledge base for building sustainable, reliable, and smart energy systems for the future.
Prof. Dr. Yang Han
