The sustainable development of energy has become a global concern. The energy system, as an extremely important module for production, conversion, transmission, and supply in the energy industry, is facing pressure from deep decarbonization and green transformation. The application of wind power, photovoltaic, hydrogen energy, power-to-gas (P2G) technology, carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) technology will help the energy system achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. Hydrogen energy will become a bridge for various energy conversion, promoting the high-speed flow of green energy. Therefore, modeling practice and mechanism design for green energy systems will become a key area of academic research.

The full utilization and consumption of renewable energy generation (e.g., wind and photovoltaic) still face difficulties and challenges, especially the problem of full consumption. The development and layout of multi-energy complementarity, coupling and interaction, and collaborative integrated energy systems can effectively solve the above problems. Therefore, there is an urgent need to study the mechanism, planning and design, optimized operation, development mode, carbon emission reduction, energy policies, and trading mechanisms of integrated energy systems coupled with renewable energy generation and hydrogen energy, to promote its further development and help achieve a clean and sustainable future. This field will integrate the knowledge and methodology from energy science, power electronics, management science and economics.

The intermittency and volatility of renewable energy power generation are the difficulties that affect its synergy with traditional energy systems. The introduction of disruptive energy system technologies, represented by hydrogen energy, P2G, and CCUS, faces challenges in the energy system. Solving coupling and collaboration is the key. There is an urgent need to address mathematical modeling, capacity allocation optimization modeling, operation optimization and energy management, benefit allocation mechanism design, power trading mechanism design, development path, and supporting policies of such energy systems. This topic aims to make progress and breakthroughs in the aforementioned fields, accepting high-quality research to improve theoretical and practical research development and help achieve a clean and sustainable future. This field will integrate the knowledge and methodology from energy science, power electronics, management science and economics.

We welcome high-quality research articles and review articles on topics including, but not limited to the following:
• Mathematical modeling of energy systems;
• Modeling of hydrogen energy storage systems;
• Technical and economic analysis of producing green hydrogen from green electricity;
• Optimization of energy system capacity configuration;
• Energy system performance analysis;
• Operation optimization and energy management;
• Design of a mechanism for distributing benefits among multiple stakeholders;
• Impact of macro-energy systems on the economy, society, and environment;
• Electricity market trading mechanism;
• Incentive energy policies;
• Energy economy and sustainable development;
The sustainable development of green energy systems belongs to comprehensive interdisciplinary research. We encourage cross-research in energy science, electrical engineering, management science, information science, economics, and other fields.
