Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The availability of clean and sustainable energy on a large scale is a challenge in terms of common economic factors such as the cost and security of supply. The rapid development of renewable energies and their increased market penetration makes it increasingly necessary to look at them from an economic perspective.

The purpose of this Special Issue is to contribute to the encounter between research from technological fields and that coming from economics. In this way, the Issue intends to specify the most relevant technical, regulatory, and economic aspects to achieve clean and sustainable energy, in line with the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations: specifically, Goal 7, "clean and sustainable energy".

This call for papers seeks high-quality research and review articles to expand the above issues through local, regional and global perspectives.

Issues of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Renewable energies;
  • Energy efficiency;
  • Large-scale deployment of renewable energy sources;
  • New business models;
  • Remuneration of renewable production;
  • Self-consumption and the role of prosumers.

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.

This paper presents a new economic profitability model for a power-to-gas plant producing green hydrogen at the site of an existing wind power plant injected into the gas grid. The model is based on a 42 MW wind power plant, for which an optimal electrolyzer of 10 MW was calculated based on the 2500 equivalent full load hours per year and the projection of electricity prices. The model is calculated on an hourly level for all variables of the 25 years of the model. With the calculated breakeven electricity price of 74.23 EUR/MWh and the price of green hydrogen production of 99.44 EUR/MWh in 2045, the wind power plant would produce 22,410 MWh of green hydrogen from 31% of its total electricity production. Green hydrogen injected into the gas system would reduce the level of CO2 emissions by 4482 tons. However, with the projected prices of natural gas and electricity, the wind power plant would cover only 20% of the income generated by the electricity delivered to the grid by producing green hydrogen. By calculating different scenarios in the model, the authors concluded that the introduction of a premium subsidy model is necessary to accelerate deployment of electrolyzers at the site of an existing wind power plant in order to increase the wind farm profitability.

The deployment of distributed and affordable renewable energy has led to the development of the prosumer concept in the field of energy. To better understand its relevance and to analyse the main trends and research developments, a systematic literature review was performed. This work gathered 1673 articles related to this topic that were analysed following the PRISMA methodology with the help of VOSviewer 1.6.18 bibliometric software. These papers are classified into four clusters: smart grids, microgrids, peer to peer networks, and prosumers. The first two clusters show a certain degree of maturity, while the latter maintain a growing interest. The analysis of the articles provides a broad view of the prosumer’s role in energy and its potential, which is not limited to simple energy exchanges. Furthermore, this systematic review highlights the challenges, not only technical but also in terms of electricity market design and social aspects. The latter require further research, as society is undergoing a paradigm shift in the way in which energy is produced and used. How this shift occurred will determine whether it can lead to true prosumer empowerment and a fairer energy transition. Full article
