Energy Systems Planning, Operation and Optimization in Net-Zero Emissions

Dear Colleagues,

Decarbonization energy transition is one of the most important measures to mitigate climate change and improve sustainability. These main investment projects for future net-zero emissions include renewables, energy storage systems (ESSs), electric vehicles (EVs), charging infrastructure, hydrogen production, recycling, etc. High penetration of renewables and large-scale deployment of EV and charging infrastructure can significantly affect the operations of energy systems, even rendering them unstable and unreliable. Therefore, revolutionary energy systems call for the advancement of smart technologies in planning, operation, and optimization. This includes highly resilient energy system architecture enabled by the Internet of Energy (IoE).

This Topic on “Energy Systems Planning, Operation and Optimization in Net-Zero Emissions” invites contributions on the most advanced and latest research developments, focusing in particular on the planning, operation, and optimization for energy system integration with high penetration of renewable energy and EVs for net-zero emissions. The topics include but are not limited to:

• Government roadmap of energy system transition for net-zero emission;
• Design, planning, and optimization of smart technologies for resilient energy system architecture and net-zero energy systems;
• Energy system operation and control under highly variable and uncertain energy sources;
• Application and optimization for the integration of EVs and ESSs in energy systems;
• Integration of IoE in net-zero energy systems;
• Environment and industry issues from the transition of net-zero energy systems and solutions thereof;
• Optimization modeling, simulation, and solution techniques for design, simulation, analysis, and operation of energy systems achieving net-zero emission;
• Hybrid microgrid design and development for net-zero energy systems;
• Energy markets enabling net-zero energy systems;
• AI and cyberphysical-system-enabled net-zero energy systems.
