Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Australasian region is undergoing a paradigm shift in its power generation landscape, with an increasing emphasis on integrating renewable energy sources to mitigate climate change and enhance energy sustainability. This Special Issue explores the challenges and potential solutions associated with the integration of renewable energy into Australasian power systems. The papers submitted to this Special Issue should aim to analyze the diverse array of renewable resources available in the region, including solar, wind, and hydroelectric power, and evaluate their impact on the existing power infrastructure.
Topics of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Technical, economic, and regulatory obstacles faced by Australasian power systems;
- The socio-economic aspects of the transition including the implications for energy affordability, job creation, and community engagement;
- Advanced energy storage technologies;
- Smart grid implementations;
- Innovative policy frameworks;
- Successful case studies and best practices;
- The role of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning.
