Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The sustainable development of power systems and renewable energy is one of the key challenges the world faces today. With increasing concerns about climate change and environmental degradation, it has become an urgent need to transition from traditional fossil-fueled power systems to achieve sustainable development. As a clean and environmentally friendly energy source, renewable energy has been widely applied and promoted. However, the sustainable development of power systems faces various challenges, such as the instability of renewable energy, grid stability issues, and energy storage technologies. This Special Issue focuses on an in-depth discussion of sustainable development issues in power systems and renewable energy, providing solutions and guidance to promote research and development in related fields. We invite researchers from multiple disciplines to present their research findings in areas such as renewable energy integration, grid stability, energy storage, policy frameworks, and socio-economic impacts.

We welcome both original research articles and reviews. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

  1. Grid stability and power quality in the context of renewable energy integration.
  2. Advances in energy storage technologies for renewable energy systems.
  3. Smart grid technologies and their role in sustainable power systems.
  4. Policy frameworks and regulatory mechanisms for renewable energy applications.
  5. Economic analysis of renewable energy projects and investments.
  6. Technological innovations for efficient and reliable renewable energy generation.
  7. Environmental impact assessment of renewable energy systems.
  8. Microgrids and decentralized energy systems for improving sustainability.
  9. Demand-side management and energy efficiency in power systems.
  10. Social acceptance, public engagement, and community involvement in renewable energy projects.
  11. Energy transition and decarbonization strategies at the regional level.
  12. The role of digitalization, artificial intelligence, and data analysis in sustainable power systems.
  13. Transportation electrification and synergies with renewable energy integration.
  14. Circular economy approaches for a more sustainable power sector.
  15. Financial mechanisms and business models for scaling up renewable energy deployment.
  16. International collaboration and knowledge sharing for advancing sustainable power systems.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

The dual-credit policy, as an important emerging policy in the Chinese automotive industry intended to achieve energy savings, emissions reductions, and promote the development of new energy vehicles (NEVs), has attracted considerable attention from scholars. This study investigates how this policy affects the research and development (R&D) levels of both component suppliers and vehicle manufacturers in the automotive supply chain. Assuming the bounded rationality of the participants, we construct a complex dynamic evolutionary model under Stackelberg games to explore the impact of the policy on the dynamic game behavior and equilibrium stability of R&D levels. Furthermore, we examine the influences of various parameters on the R&D level complex system. The findings reveal that the disparity in the proportion of NEVs in the policy should not be too large; otherwise, bifurcation and chaos may occur in the R&D level game system. Moreover, higher supplier research efficiency contributes to the stability of R&D levels, while the higher credit trading price is not suitable for stable R&D levels. This paper theoretically reveals the dynamic impact of the dual-credit policy on the R&D levels in the automotive supply chain, bridging the gap between previous studies assuming decision-makers as fully rational and the reality of bounded rationality. It also provides managerial recommendations for the implementation details of this policy. Full article
