Sustainable Energy Planning and Renewable Power Generation

Dear Colleagues,

With the global tendency toward decarbonization, there is an urgent need to promote the low-carbon transformation of energy systems. To achieve this goal, it is of vital importance to build a low-carbon power technology theoretical framework that takes into account carbon emission measurement, evaluation, and optimization of power systems, providing support for carbon neutrality-oriented power systems from multiple dimensions such as planning, operation, control, and evaluation.

This Special Issue aims to create a forum for experts, professionals, and readers interested in sustainable energy, renewable energy generation and low-carbon power technologies. We invite researchers and professionals to present their work progress related to these topics, including emerging technologies. Some of the interested topics are, but are not limited to, the following:

Suggest themes:

• Planning for renewable energy with energy storage;
• Carbon emission measurement technology of power systems;
• Low-carbon planning, operation, and control of future power systems;
• Grid planning algorithms with renewable energy generation units;
• Grid-forming control algorithms for renewable energy generation;
• Distributed cooperative control algorithms for renewable energy;
• Stability analysis methods for power systems with high penetration of renewable energy;
• Operation strategy of smart grids with high penetration of renewable energy;
• Typology, operation, and control of energy hub for clean distributed energy generation.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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-anonymized 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.
