Low-Carbon Power and Energy Systems

Dear Colleagues,

Low-carbon power and energy systems are attracting attention in both academia and industry due to growing concerns about global warming. A large percentage of carbon emissions are generated via fossil fuel consumption in the power and energy industry. Therefore, scientific and technological progression in the low-carbon power and energy-system fields is imperative to help realize the “Carbon Neutral” Target. Low-carbon power and energy systems involve issues related to technical, economical, commercial and policy challenges. Interdisciplinarity efforts and contributions are of great importance for low-carbon power and energy systems. This Topic will collect the latest developments and applications in these interdisciplinary fields, providing a common framework to authors from different research areas. Potential topics include (but are not limited to): 

• Low-carbon power and energy system theory and applications.
• Low-carbon planning approaches and tools for power and energy systems.
• Low-carbon dispatch and management technologies for power and energy systems.
• Low-carbon policy for power and energy systems.
• Low-carbon technologies for energy/power and transportation nexus system.
• Low-carbon technologies for cooling-heat-electricity-gas integrated energy system.
• Low-carbon/renewable power generation technologies.
• Wind/photovoltaic/tidal/biogas/biomass power-generation technologies.
• Advanced technology for geothermal energy/combined heat and power (CHP) plants.
• Carbon/green electricity trading technologies.
• Hydrogen and its power grid integration technologies.
• Net-zero/zero energy/carbon system technologies for microgrids and buildings.
• Energy saving and efficiency improvement technologies for microgrids and buildings.
• Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage (CCUS) technologies.
• Technical-economical evaluations and market analyses.
• Reliability, flexibility and resilience technologies in the low-carbon trend.
