Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The global energy sector is undergoing a profound transformation, as most developed and some developing nations strive to meet decarbonization goals, enhance energy security, and improve grid resilience. The rapid integration of renewable energy sources (RESs) into power systems, such as solar and wind power, as well as emerging technologies like green hydrogen and tidal energy, have introduced both opportunities and challenges. Modern power systems must adapt to increasing RES penetration while maintaining security, stability, reliability and economics. Advances in smart grid technologies, energy storage, power electronics, and digitalization are critical to enabling this transition. Additionally, regulatory frameworks, market mechanisms, and economic policies play a pivotal role in accelerating the adoption of sustainable energy solutions.
This Special Issue aims to compile cutting-edge research addressing the technical, economic, and policy challenges associated with the evolution of power systems and renewable energy integration. By fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, we seek to highlight innovative approaches that can drive the transition toward a cleaner, smarter, and more resilient energy future.
We invite original research articles, review papers, and case studies that explore recent advancements in (but not limited to) the following areas:
Renewable Energy Integration
Grid-friendly inverter technologies and grid-forming control strategies
Hybrid renewable energy systems
Forecasting and uncertainty management for variable RES
Smart Grids and Modern Power Systems
Microgrid, virtual power plant (VPP), and decentralized energy system
Artificial intelligence applications in power system and renewable energy
Security, stability, reliability, economics and resilience in smart grids
Cybersecurity in smart grids
Energy Storage and Flexible Resource
Next-generation battery technologies
Thermal, mechanical, and chemical storage systems
Flexible resource exploration and effective employment
Demand-side management and demand response strategies
Power/energy economics and electricity markets
Electricity market mechanisms and strategies
Carbon-neutral transition strategies
Renewable energy market mechanisms and pricing models
Techno-economic analysis of RES deployment
Regulatory frameworks for different kinds of markets
This Special Issue is designed for researchers, engineers, industry professionals, and policymakers working in power systems, renewable energy, and related fields. We encourage submissions that present novel methodologies, experimental validations, real-world case studies, or policy analyses that contribute to the sustainable energy transition.
Authors are invited to submit high-quality manuscripts that align with the theme of this Special Issue. All submissions will undergo a rigorous peer-review process. We look forward to your contributions!

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. Energies 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 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs).
