Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As climate change grows in importance and visibility around the world, reaching critical levels, one of the policies that different governments aim to adopt is the increased use of renewable energy (RE) for electric power generation, resulting in the reduction of fossil fuel use. However, as the penetration rate of renewable energy increases in power systems, it is also becoming more difficult to maintain adequate levels of system security. Thus, several countermeasures to guarantee security need to be employed in the stages of system operation, operational planning, and planning. To come up with those countermeasures, application of optimization techniques is desirable, as various types of control and operation means need to be well coordinated.
This Special Issue will highlight new technical challenges and advancements in applying optimization methods for power system security in the high RE penetration circumstances. The issue shall cover:
- Countermeasure establishment for future power system planning;
- Design of operational planning strategies for power system security enhancement;
- Establishment of operation strategies, guidelines, and criteria for power systems;
- Operation and control coordination for operation scheduling and strategy designs of microgrids and virtual power plants using optimization techniques;
- Design of operation and planning strategies for renewable energy and energy storage systems;
- Optimization application to forecast and to analyze fluctuation and intermittence characteristics of renewable energy.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Sustainability is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
