Dear Colleagues,
Energy is a crucial resource for nation and society development. Sustainable energy production and use is still a distant target, in spite of all the efforts and advancements achieved so far. Although renewable energy use has been increasing significantly, a large share of the energy currently used around the world is still based on fossil resources (oil and coal).
Renewable energy use brings along technical and business challenges. Geographically distributed by nature, renewables contribute to increasingly distributed generation of electricity. Ensuring the required reliability and efficiency with the spreading of small-scale electricity generation is a huge challenge that must be overcome. Energy storage systems and active participation from the demand side, with efficient use of the available energy, demand flexibility must be intelligently used to compensate for the intermittency of the most attractive renewable energy sources, such as wind and sun.
This Special Issue, therefore, aims to contribute to the “Sustainable Energy Systems” agenda through advanced scientific and multi-disciplinary knowledge, combined to improve energy security and performance.
We therefore invite papers on innovative technical developments, reviews, case studies, analytical, as well as assessments, from different disciplines, which are relevant to “Sustainable Energy Systems”. These include smart grids, renewable energy systems, energy storage systems, life cycle analysis of energy systems, zero energy buildings, electric and hybrid vehicles, financial and economic analysis of energy systems, smart systems, energy management and big data, energy policy, novel energy sources, and renewable-based generation, among others.
