Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue's primary objective is the deployment of renewable energy, economic development, energy security improvement, increased access to energy, and the mitigation of climate change. Sustainable development is possible by using sustainable energy and ensuring access to affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern energy for citizens.
The Special Issue also addresses the application of the solar PV systems in the generation of electricity for off-grid, on-grid, and EV applications. The design and integration of different components such as PV arrays, high gain dc/dc converters, grid-connected inverters, metaheuristic-based optimization techniques for obtaining maximum power and parameter extraction of the solar PV system, etc., shall be the focus of this Special Issue.
Moreover, as the world's population and standards of living increase, the demand for energy will consequently increase, which will be followed by environmental problems. Hence, various governments are coming up with different legislation, regulations, and standards of energy, as well as policies for public and private energy saving. Therefore, this Special Issue will explore the latest developments in energy-saving design technologies and methodologies to provide energy security and mitigate climate change.
This Special Issue aims to advance sustainable research studies and developments on renewable energies and energy saving for achieving a more sustainable world. This Special Issue seeks contributions spanning a broad range of topics related, but not limited, to:
- The design of renewable energy systems;
- Metaheuristic MPPT techniques;
- Optimization techniques based the solution of maximum power extraction;
- Parameter extraction of solar PV systems using optimization/intelligent techniques;
- Power electronic converters (inverters) for renewable energy systems;
- Control techniques for grid integration of renewable energy systems;
- DC–DC and hybrid AC/DC power electronic converters for integration of EV;
- Energy storage and renewable energy systems;
- Next-generation renewable energy technologies;
- Legislation, regulations, and standards of energy;
- Policies for public and private energy saving;
- Wind energy cogeneration;
- Energy security;
- Climate change mitigation.

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.
