Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Energy is the basis of the survival and development of human society and, since the 20th century, fossil-based energy sources such as coal and oil have continued to be widely utilized. Following years of exploitation, threats to the climate and other environmental problems caused by the burning of fossil fuels have become increasingly serious, causing great damage to the natural environment. The development and utilization of sustainable energy has gradually become an agreed upon approach throughout the international community.

Nowadays, the sustainable energy industry is booming, with an increasing proportion of sources of sustainable energy connected to power grids worldwide. Sustainable energy, however, has low inertia characteristics and cannot provide effective inertia support in the event of power system faults and frequency disturbances. As the proportion of thermal power in power grids decreases, the stability problem of the power system becomes more and more prominent.

This Special Issue focuses on the key technologies of grid-connected sustainable energy, encourages the exchange of various knowledge and technologies about the structure and control strategies of renewable and sustainable energy systems, and aims to improve the overall inertia performance of these new energy grid-connected systems, the stability of the fault conditions, and to guarantee the safe and stable operation of new power systems.

Main topics:

In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome, and research areas may include, but are not limited to:

  • planning and operation of sustainable energy integration;
  • inertia support for sustainable energy integration;
  • stability analysis of the sustainable energy integration;
  • fault diagnosis of the sustainable energy equipment;
  • advanced control algorithm for sustainable energy integration;
  • distribution and scheduling of sustainable energy;
  • artificial intelligence applications for sustainable energy integration;
  • accurate power prediction of sustainable energy;
  • power quality of sustainable energy integration;
  • transmission topology of sustainable energy integration.

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. Sustainability 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 2400 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.
