Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to extend an invitation to submit your research for an upcoming Special Issue of Renewable Power Generation Technologies. This Special Issue aims to address the critical challenges and innovative solutions in the transition towards a fully sustainable energy grid. The global push for decarbonization and energy independence makes the themes of this Special Issue particularly relevant. As the penetration of renewable sources grows, so too does the need for intelligent, resilient, and economically viable systems. This Special Issue provides a timely platform to share pioneering research that goes beyond traditional generation methods, focusing on the integration of smart technologies, advanced control systems, and novel approaches to enhance the efficiency, reliability, and circularity of renewable power systems. Your contribution will help shape the discourse on the next generation of power generation technologies, contributing to a more sustainable and secure energy future.
This Special Issue aims to present and disseminate the most recent advances related to the theory, design, modelling, application, control, and condition monitoring of all types of renewable power generation systems.
Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Renewable energy generation systems—research on generation technologies (wind, solar, hydro, geothermal, tidal, and biomass) and their optimization.
- Energy storage and management—advanced storage solutions, such as pumped storage systems, high-capacity batteries, and green hydrogen, hybrid systems.
- Smart grids—integration of renewable sources into smart grids, demand and supply management, and optimization of energy flows.
- Modeling and optimization—research on mathematical models, stochastic and robust optimization algorithms, and simulations to maximize the efficiency and reliability of energy systems.
- Energy policy and economics—the impact of regulations, market mechanisms, and government policies on the energy transition.
- Artificial intelligence-based energy management systems for microgrids.
- The impact of solar panel subsidy policies on residential energy consumption.
- Development of predictive models for photovoltaic and wind energy 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. 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). 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.
