Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue explores all the challenges related to the integration of a large share of renewables into the power system, including wind, solar, hydropower, geothermal, biomass, wood and wood waste, municipal solid waste, biogas, biodiesel, and green hydrogen.
The focus of this Special Issue is on technologies that allow a cost-effective integration of renewables while guaranteeing a reliable and safe system operation, ensuring system stability and power quality. This includes smart controls for renewable firming using energy storage, such as battery energy storage systems, pumped hydroelectric, compressed air, flywheels, and electrolyzes.
This Special Issue welcomes both research and review papers that analyse the technical challenges posed by the high variability and limited predictability of renewable energy sources to the integration of a large share of renewable energy generation in the electricity grid.
Topics addressed in this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Voltage and frequency stability in the presence of an increasing share of renewables;
- Grid code requirements to connect renewable power plants to the grid;
- Power quality issues;
- Virtual inertia;
- Economic aspect of renewable integration and decision-support models;
- Coordination mechanisms between renewable power generation units,
- energy storage systems and the grid;
- Service-based energy storage systems for renewable integration, renewable firming, energy arbitrage, ancillary services;
- Flexible demand integration in future power systems based on batteries and electrolyzes for green hydrogen production.

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. Electronics 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.
