Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Fossil fuels (coal, oil and gas) are non-renewable resources, and when burned to produce energy they cause harmful greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution. The storage capacity and scarcity of fossil fuels also cause major issues for the generation of electrical power for commercial and domestic power supply demand. All of these important issues force us to explore renewable energy sources. As a next step toward improving the performance of power generation systems based on renewable energy sources, novel research methods are becoming more appealing, and they are being added on a daily basis under adverse environmental scenarios.
The goal of this Special Issue is to look at and share recent advances in theory, design, modeling, application, control, environmental issues, future energy policy transitions, reviews, and case studies related to the advancement of power generation systems based on renewable energy sources as well as analysis under climatic conditions for finding sustainable solutions.
The following topics are within the scope of this Special Issue, but other relevant topics are also of interest:
- The effect of climatic conditions such as partial shading effect and dust aerosol on renewable energy systems and key solutions.
- Energy policies for the growth of renewable energy systems for future scenarios.
- Low-carbon energy transition in commercial and residential electrical power production systems: difficulties, methods, and novel approaches in renewable-energy-based sources.
- Major technical advancements in the energy, electric power, and industrial sectors, as well as the cost–benefit analysis of mitigation solutions for energy-related operations, including their advantages and disadvantages.
- The prospective role of low-carbon energy policies and case studies.
- Fuel cell systems: A perspective towards reliable hybrid power generation.
- Strategies for regulating the pressure of the reactant flow in fuel cells and an examination of their static and dynamic performance.
- Hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles: Dynamic modeling and lifespan evaluation.

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.
