10th Anniversary of Processes: Recent Advances in the Optimisation and Control of Integrated Energy Systems and Energy Markets

Dear Colleagues,

The aim of this Special Issue is to bring forth theoretical advances, applications and tools in the field of energy systems and energy markets. Particular emphasis will be placed on novel modeling, control and optimization frameworks; approaches and techniques that systematically explore various aspects of a wide range of energy systems; and energy markets in a holistic, integrated way.  Furthermore, real-life industrial applications, which illustrate the applicability and potential benefits of the integrated approach, are most welcome. Tools  which incorporate theoretical developments, models and methods may also be included.

This Special Issue will attract the interest of (i) researchers in academia or industry, (ii) industrial practitioners and (iii) educational purposes both in academia and industry. The main objective is to present a Special Issue that follows a continuous structured path covering all important issues in the area of energy systems engineering. The Special Issue will cover (but is not limited to) the following topics: 

• Design of sustainable energy systems;
• Design and optimization of energy supply chains;
• Energy planning and scheduling;
• Energy markets optimization;
• Energy polygeneration systems;
• Integrated oil and gas production;
• Urban energy systems;
• Modeling, optimization and control of energy storage systems;
• Energy savings and energy efficiency in the process industries;
• Integration of financial instruments in energy markets;
• Optimal integration of renewable energies;
• Design and operation of micro grids and smart grids;
• Advanced clean technologies (combustion, etc.);
• Carbon capture and sequestration networks;
• Industrial applications and real-life case studies;
• Tools for industrial and educational purposes.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Processes is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
