Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
A new type of power system based on renewable energy is one of the effective ways to achieve carbon peaking and carbon neutrality. With the continuous development and improvement of new power systems, the mission of hydropower stations has gradually changed from ‘power supply’ to ‘power supply + grid regulation’. Against this background, this Special Issue is dedicated to publishing original research related to the operation and management of hydropower stations or pumped storage power stations. Research covering the following areas is particularly welcome: combined optimal operation of hydropower and new energy sources, optimal control of hydropower/pumped storage units, system integration and stability analysis, intelligent monitoring, early warning and diagnosis. The aim of this Special Issue is to provide researchers, operators and policy makers in this field with new insights into the optimal operation of hydropower energy under the new power system, in order to further enhance the regulating role of hydropower in maintaining the stability of the power grid, and to effectively respond to the challenges posed by the integration of renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar energy, into the grid.

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. Water 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.
