Energy Conversion for Photovoltaics and Energy Storage Systems in Microgrids and Renewable Energy Communities
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to launch a new Topic focusing on “Energy Conversion for Photovoltaics and Energy Storage Systems in Microgrids and Renewable Energy Communities”.
The focus is on the most recent advancements in economics, policy, and technology that are influencing the growth of Microgrids (MGs) and Renewable Energy Communities (RECs). The synergistic integration of distributed energy resources (DERs), such as photovoltaic (PV) systems, electric vehicles (EVs), and energy storage systems (ESSs), is emphasized in order to enhance sustainability, resilience, and autonomy in energy systems.
The primary objective of this Topic is to provide a comprehensive avenue for debating cutting-edge research and practical advancements that address technical, economic, environmental, and policy challenges. It aims to bridge the gap between academic research, business practice, and policymaking in order to accelerate the transition to decentralized, low-carbon energy systems. It does this by presenting original, high-caliber research articles that address the main issues and innovations with the goal of enhancing current systems and making them sustainable. Contributions could be made to a variety of relevant topics, as original research articles, reviews, surveys, and case studies.
