Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is our pleasure to announce a new Special Issue of the journal Sustainability titled “Renewable Energy Systems and Sustainable Power Systems”.
In face of the global electricity consumption projected to increase by 50% between now and 2050, many countries have pledged carbon neutrality by the same time. In order to achieve such ambitious goals, the power system must undergo sweeping technological advancements. Many of these advances in technology, operation, and control have already been or are being implemented. The integration of renewable energy resources along with advancements in communication and control algorithms have made the grid more efficient and sustainable. More recently, the rapid deployment of distributed energy resources at both the distribution and transmission is transforming the grid from a centralized system to one that is decentralized and operated closer to its margins. At the same time, these changes bring about new sets of challenges in security, reliability, sustainability, and scalability for the power system.
This Special Issue aims to present current research and innovations in dealing with the challenges of renewable energy integration into the existing power grid that will transform the current grid towards greater efficiency and resiliency. Focus will be placed on novel strategies for maintaining power system reliability, flexibility, and security, including data-driven algorithms and emerging technologies. Both theoretical and practical research papers on these topics are welcome.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Renewable energy integration;
- Power system monitoring and control;
- Power system reliability;
- Smart grid technologies;
- Data-driven approaches for power system operation.

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.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
