Future electricity generation, based on variable RES, will render current solutions for grid balancing and stability insufficient. Intermittent generation will require extensive electricity demand flexibility to alleviate the unpredictable grid stresses. Moreover, energy systems will necessitate the use of novel or optimized conversion and storage technologies (such as power to gas, power to heat, and virtual energy storage in buildings) in order to increase the synergies between electricity, heat\/cooling, and gas networks to achieve the avoidance of RES generation curtailment. This Special Issue aims to encourage researchers to present and discuss some new ideas and solutions to explore, identify, evaluate, and quantitatively assess optimal solutions and strategies to integrate and operate conversion\/storage systems on the distribution grid of several energy carriers. Finally, technical and economic evaluation along with policy strategy, incentives and standardization recommendations are highly welcome.
