Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
To combat global climate change, more than 100 countries have pledged to achieve net-zero emissions, which is also known as carbon neutralization, by 2050. Renewable energy generation (REG) technology with low carbon mission potential has long been recognized as one of the most promising solutions for achieving carbon neutralization. The continuous falling cost of REG and the policies of decarbonizing the energy sector have further accelerated the developments in REG during the past decade. The increasing integration of REG into a power system brings profound challenges to its secure and economic operation, including technical issues with protection placement and coordination, voltage and power violation, power quality, and energy losses. In order to realize the transition towards a low-carbon power system, research efforts have been devoted to the planning and operation of power systems with high REG potential in the context of carbon neutrality, as well as the design of supportive electricity wholesale market mechanisms for enhancing the accommodation capability for REG. In addition, at the distribution system level, endeavors have also been devoted to research on virtual power plants, industrial/business park energy management, smart home energy management, and community energy storage systems, so as to increase the integration of renewable distributed energy resources (DERs) through demand-side management solutions.
Given the above-mentioned background, this Special Issue solicits original and novel research on renewable energy-enabled power systems that support the transition towards a carbon-neutral future. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Modelling of power systems towards a carbon neutral future;
- Planning of power systems within the context of carbon neutrality;
- Operation of power systems with a high penetration level of renewable generations;
- Electricity market design for power systems with a high penetration of renewable energy;
- Design of electricity market products to facilitate the integration of renewable energy sources;
- Security and reliability assessment versus enhancement strategies in power networks;
- Localized electricity market mechanisms for renewable DERs and demand-side resources;
- Smart industrial/business park, building and home energy management for promoting the utilization of renewable DERs;
- Operation strategies of distribution networks to reduce the carbon footprint of end-users;
- Interaction mechanism between wholesale and retail electricity markets with a high penetration level of REG.

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). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
