Recent Advances toward Carbon-Neutral Power System

Dear Colleagues,

The integration of renewable energy sources (RES) and storage system to power systems plays a significant role in the carbon-neutral society. On the other hand, most RES are uncertain and variable sources. While power systems have been designed to handle the variable nature of demand, this additional variability and uncertainty in supply can pose new challenges for power system operation.

In these circumstances, the integration of a high share of RES requires smart grids, which are intelligent and digitized power systems optimally distributing electricity among prosumers. In this regard, the future smart grids must be secure, reliable, resilient, cost-efficient and market-based while integrating different energy sectors through one market and engaging the customer as central actors.

There are many challenges in achieving a carbon-neutral power system. Topics welcome to this Special Issue include but are not restricted to the following:

• Power system assessment in the presence of variability and uncertainty
• Modeling and analysis of power system performance with a high share of RES
• Effect of recent advances in RES technologies in power system
• Electricity market design in the presence of a high share of RES
• The effect of RES in future ancillary service market
• Energy community and local electricity market
• Power system digitalization
• IoT-based monitoring and control of smart power grid environment
• Data analysis and networking tools in power system operation and design
• Case studies on recent advances in smart grid and integration of RES

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-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Electricity is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1200 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.
