Optimisation, Optimal Control and Nonlinear Dynamics in Electrical Power, Energy Storage and Renewable Energy Systems
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
The electrical power system is undergoing a revolution that has been enabled by advances in telecommunications, computer hardware and software, measurement and metering systems, IoT, and power electronics. The increasing integration of intermittent renewable energy sources, energy storage devices, electric vehicles and the drive for energy efficiency have resulted in an evolution of the traditional power systems towards a smarter grid, which is characterised, in part, by a bi-directional flow of energy and information. The evolution of the power grid, as well as its interconnection with energy storage systems and renewable energy sources, has created new opportunities for optimising not only their techno-economic aspects at the planning stages but also their control and operation. However, new challenges are emerging in optimising these systems related to the complexity, the uncertainties involved, and the nonlinear dynamic behaviour that these systems exhibit.
We are pleased to invite prospective authors to submit original research submissions covering innovations associated with the optimisation and optimal control in electrical power, energy storage and renewable energy systems, and the challenges associated with their nonlinear, uncertain, and complex behaviour. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Novel approaches for the optimisation of techno-economic aspects of electrical power, energy storage or renewable energy systems at the planning stage;
- Nonlinear dynamics in electrical power, energy storage or renewable energy systems;
- Nonlinear and optimal control approaches for microgrids, energy storage, or the integration of renewable energy systems into the power grid;
- Revenue maximisation of energy storage systems;
- Nonlinear state estimation for electrical power, energy storage or renewable energy systems;
- Optimal power flow with energy storage and/or renewable energy sources.

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:
i. Share your research immediately: disseminate your ideas prior to publication and establish priority for your work.
ii. Safeguard your intellectual contribution: Protect your ideas with a time-stamped preprint that serves as proof of your research timeline.
iii. Boost visibility and impact: Increase the reach and influence of your research by making it accessible to a global audience.
iv. Gain early feedback: Receive valuable input and insights from peers before submitting to a journal.
v. Ensure broad indexing: Web of Science (Preprint Citation Index), Google Scholar, Crossref, SHARE, PrePubMed, Scilit and Europe PMC.
