Renewable energy including the solar, wind and also hydroelectricity-based energy, have become the emerging choices for a sustainable development of humanity. However, the intermittent energy generation from solar and wind power leads to the risk of the energy system operation and power transmission with sufficient stability and reliability. In this regard, power electronics, modeling, control and optimization strategies are critical for the renewable energy applications. Advanced power electronic topology design, considering cost and energy transfer efficiency, are the prerequisites for the smart operation of renewable energy systems. Recently, superior modeling methods, nonlinear and adaptive control, and evolutionary optimization have been developing fast and are being widely investigated by many researchers related to the renewable energy systems.

The aim of the special section is to provide a timely opportunity for researchers, practicing engineers, and other stakeholders to share their latest discoveries in the areas of renewable energy systems, such as photovoltaic system, wind power system, and related energy storage system, in the context of the smart operational solutions.
