Sustainable Electric Power Systems: Design, Analysis and Control

Dear Colleagues,

Much attention from scholars is paid to renewable energy in sustainable power systems as an approach to reduce carbon emissions. However, the uncertain, intermittent and low-inertia nature of renewable generation poses great challenges to the operation and regulation of sustainable power systems. For efficient and reliable power systems, there is a growing emphasis on advanced energy storage techniques. This Special Issue focuses on the innovative solutions and state-of-the-art studies for the design, analysis and control of sustainable power systems in the frame of the energy transition.

In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:

• Low-carbon electric power system structure design;
• Modeling of energy-saving equipment in sustainable electric power systems;
• Capacity planning of sustainable energy and energy storage systems;
• Big Data techniques for renewable energy forecasting and shiftable loads analysis;
• Data-driven energy management methods for the distribution of energy resources and energy storage systems;
• Stability analysis of electric power systems with high-penetrated renewable energy;
• Optimal control for integrated energy systems;
• Business models and marketing tools for low-carbon/economic efficiency;
• Modeling of equivalent circuits of energy storage systems.

We forward to receiving your contributions.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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-anonymized 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.
