Reliability Evaluation of Integrated Electricity and Natural Gas Systems

Dear Colleagues,

The Guest Editor is inviting submissions to a Special Issue of Energies on the subject area of “Reliability Evaluation of Integrated Electricity and Natural Gas Systems”. The interdependence between electricity and natural gas systems has been intensified over the years. Reliability evaluation is the foundation of system planning and operation. Low carbon operation of Integrated Electricity and Natural Gas Systems has attracted the attention of many researchers in recent years, and there have been many emerging techniques.
This Special Issue will deal with novel optimization and reliability evaluation techniques for integrated electricity and natural gas systems. Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to:
•    Low carbon operation of integrated electricity and natural gas systems;
•    Application of data-driven and artificial intelligence for reliability evaluation;
•    Accommodation of renewable energy with integrated energy systems;
•    Power-to-gas and energy storage;
•    Integrated electricity and natural gas demand response;
•    Expansion planning of integrated energy systems;
•    Integrated electricity and natural gas distribution systems;
•    Uncertainty modeling of integrated energy systems.

Dr. Chuan He
Guest Editor
