Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Decarbonization of power systems highly depends on variable renewable energy (VRE), such as wind, solar PV, hydropower, etc. VRE is becoming the most important power source in power systems. However, the integration of large-scale VRE into power systems has introduced many challenges for the planning and operation of power systems due to the nature of intermittency, uncertainty, and spatial heterogeneity of VRE. For example, solar power significantly reduces the load on conventional generators during the day but not during the night, resulting in the frequent start or stop of conventional generators to match unbalanced load demand. The curtailment of wind and solar power will occur when flexible sources are not enough. Increasing accommodation for renewable energy becomes a key issue. To address the issue, the energy storage system, demand response, market mechanisms, optimal dispatching strategies, and multi-energy coupling are promising technologies that can alleviate the impact of the application of VRE.
This Special Issue aims to present the latest advances related to integration and application in the use of VRE considering the planning, operation, and market aspects. It also focuses on technologies addressing the uncertainties of VRE to improve accommodation for renewable energy. Thus, scholars and researchers are kindly invited to consider submitting their original articles for consideration in this Special Issue. Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Renewable energy sources;
- Smart grid;
- Demand response;
- Market mechanisms;
- Environmental impact;
- Power system dynamics and control;
- Power system planning;
- Hydrogen production;
- Vehicle to grid;
- Energy storage system.

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.
