Low-Carbon Power and Energy Systems
Topic Information
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.

Preprints.org is a multidisciplinary platform offering a preprint service designed to facilitate the early sharing of your research. It supports and empowers your research journey from the very beginning.
MDPI Topics is collaborating with Preprints.org and has established a direct connection between MDPI journals and the platform. Authors are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity by posting their preprints at Preprints.org prior to publication:
- Share your research immediately: disseminate your ideas prior to publication and establish priority for your work.
- Safeguard your intellectual contribution: Protect your ideas with a time-stamped preprint that serves as proof of your research timeline.
- Boost visibility and impact: Increase the reach and influence of your research by making it accessible to a global audience.
- Gain early feedback: Receive valuable input and insights from peers before submitting to a journal.
- Ensure broad indexing: Web of Science (Preprint Citation Index), Google Scholar, Crossref, SHARE, PrePubMed, Scilit and Europe PMC.
