Integration of Renewable Energy
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
The energy supply chain is changing rapidly, driven by a societal and environmental push towards clean and renewable resources. However, renewable resources such as solar, wind, tide, and wave energy are inherently uncontrollable as their availability is governed by the often challenging-to-predict natural cycles. This in turn poses a great challenge for the grid system to match the supply to the constantly changing demand and maintain network stability. Without a viable solution to the plethora of underlying technical issues, we will not be able to integrate and utilize renewable energy resources and systems in an economic and environmentally affordable way.
The aim of this Topic is to collect the latest developments and applications in these interdisciplinary fields related to "Integration of Renewable Energy". Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Wind energy;
- Solar power;
- Tidal and wave energy;
- Hybrid renewable energy systems;
- Microgrids;
- Modelling, simulation, optimization, and control;
- Condition monitoring and control, including advanced control for optimized exploitation;
- Energy management and demand-side management;
- Power electronic converters and systems;
- Storage technologies and systems;
- Vehicle to grid and grid to vehicle;
- Inertia and frequency control strategies;
- HVAC and HVDC interconnection systems;
- Smart metering and data management solution;
- Energy security;
- Artificial-intelligence-enabled techniques and applications.

Preprints.org is a multidisciplinary platform offering a preprint service designed to facilitate the early sharing of your research. It supports and empowers your research journey from the very beginning.
MDPI Topics is collaborating with Preprints.org and has established a direct connection between MDPI journals and the platform. Authors are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity by posting their preprints at Preprints.org prior to publication:
- Share your research immediately: disseminate your ideas prior to publication and establish priority for your work.
- Safeguard your intellectual contribution: Protect your ideas with a time-stamped preprint that serves as proof of your research timeline.
- Boost visibility and impact: Increase the reach and influence of your research by making it accessible to a global audience.
- Gain early feedback: Receive valuable input and insights from peers before submitting to a journal.
- Ensure broad indexing: Web of Science (Preprint Citation Index), Google Scholar, Crossref, SHARE, PrePubMed, Scilit and Europe PMC.
