Optimizing Renewable and Electric Mobility Integration in Smart Grids

The rapid global shift toward low-carbon, intelligent energy systems has fueled the widespread adoption of distributed renewable energy resources (RES), energy storage systems (ESS), and electric vehicles (EVs). These technologies promise transformative changes but also pose substantial operational challenges when integrated into decentralized power grids. Their unpredictable behavior, including bidirectional power flows and varied spatiotemporal patterns, requires sophisticated coordination strategies to maximize grid reliability, flexibility, sustainability, and economic efficiency.This Research Topic aims to unite groundbreaking studies focused on the synergistic integration and intelligent coordination of RES, ESS, and EVs within decentralized, digitally empowered power systems. The objective is to uncover methods to enhance grid support while ensuring economic efficiency, making the transition both feasible and financially viable. Contributions that delve into multi-energy coupling, optimal scheduling, coordinated control algorithms, economic dispatch models, and system-level planning frameworks are especially encouraged. The goal is to develop optimized solutions that address the complexities of integrating these emergent technologies seamlessly into power grids that are not only decentralized and resilient but also economically advantageous.To gather further insights into the efficient integration of distributed renewable energy resources, energy storage, and electric vehicles, we welcome articles addressing, but not limited to, the following themes:• Hybrid energy management systems incorporating RES, ESS, and EVs;• Multi-agent systems and distributed consensus-based coordination in peer-to-peer networks;• Physics-informed and data-driven models for vehicle-to-grid (V2G) and grid-to-vehicle (G2V) integration;• Spatial-temporal optimization for EV charging infrastructure co-located with renewables;• Resilience enhancement strategies for decentralized microgrids using smart storage and mobility assets;• Blockchain, digital twins, and IoT-enabled platforms for decentralized grid management.• Economic evaluation of decentralized smart grid integrations;• Case studies and pilot projects showcasing techno-economic and environmental impacts.
