Editorial: Enabling High-Penetration Renewable Integration Into a Smarter Grid

What is it about?

With growing concerns on environmental pollution and energy crisis together with the low-carbon transition requirements, renewable energy techniques have been regarded as a crucial solution for ensuring energy clean and sustainable development. Worldwide countries have formulated long-term renewable energy development plans to promote large scale integration of renewable generations into smart grids. However, the variability of renewables will significantly increase the risks and complexities involved in system management and operation during this ongoing energy system transformation. Simultaneously, new emerging techniques in forecasting, operation and optimization provide more regulatory means available for better high-penetration renewable integration (HPRI). This Special Issue is organized to introduce the latest research in the field of HPRI.
