Sustainable Renewable Energy: Smart Grid and Electric Power System

Dear Colleagues,

Currently, with the escalating issues of energy crisis and environmental pollution, energy and electric power sustainability has become an urgent global challenge. On the power production side, the rapid development and technological breakthroughs in renewable energy sources, represented by photovoltaic power generation, wind power generation, and biomass power generation, hold the promise of effectively addressing the sustainable development. On the electric power transmission, distribution, and utilization sides, the new type of electric power systems, as known as smart grids, have emerged as critical enablers for efficient energy operation and management. Through optimized scheduling of transmission, transformation, and distribution, comprehensive energy demand response, energy storage and regulation, interactions between electric vehicles and the grid, and electricity markets, the green, sustainable, safe, and efficient utilization of electric power resources can be achieved.

The aim of this special issue is to collect high-quality research papers on sustainable renewable energy with smart grid and electric power system. Meanwhile, to achieve energy sustainability, the collaboration and interdisciplinary research are indispensable. This special issue aims to provide a platform for researchers from different disciplines such as electrical engineering, economics, and policy studies to share their perspectives and insights. It seeks to foster collaboration, innovation, and knowledge exchange among researchers, practitioners, and policymakers, with the goal of advancing the field and accelerating the transition towards a sustainable renewable energy future. We invite researchers to submit their original contributions and share their expertise and latest achievements in the important research field of sustainable renewable energy development and the field of smart grid and electric power system.
