Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Due to worldwide targets for carbon emission reduction and carbon neutrality, power systems around the world are undergoing significant changes. The increasing integration of low-cost variable renewable energy (VRE), the deployment of distributed energy resources (DER), and growing opportunities for electrification have been witnessed in the process of power system transformation.
However, as the penetration ratio of renewable energy continues to grow, the characteristics of randomness, variability, weak inertia, and damping have posed great challenges to power planning, operation, and control. There is an urgent need to provide efficient, safe, and diverse technological choices for the construction of net-zero power and energy systems.
Numerous technologies and methods have been developed in this area in recent years. Therefore, this Special Issue provides a platform to strengthen interdisciplinary research and share the dynamics, cutting-edge research, and practice for renewable energy and power system transformation within the scope of sustainability.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- The mechanisms for the further proliferation and integration of renewable energy resources including wind, solar, and so on.
- The operation, planning, and economics of decarbonization pathways in reaching net-zero targets in electrical power and integrated energy systems.
- Reliability evaluation and risk analysis of power and integrated energy systems considering climate shocks and natural disasters.
- Electrical power and energy system solutions for the decarbonization of transportation (road, rail, maritime, air, intermodal, and pipeline), industrial, and real estate sectors.
- System-level solutions and analysis of integrating carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technologies.
- The mechanisms and solutions for carbon markets, virtual power plants, and transactive energy and their role in addressing climate change issues in electrical power and integrated energy systems.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Sustainability is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs).
