Optimization in Renewable Energy Systems (2nd Edition)

Dear Colleagues,

There is an urgent need to develop sustainable energy systems and encourage reducing our carbon footprint. Wind and solar power are driving a clean energy revolution, and renewable energy is booming as innovation reduces costs and begins to deliver on the promise of a clean energy future. Renewables are increasingly replacing “dirty” fossil fuels in the energy sector, offering the benefit of lower carbon emissions and other types of pollution.

The increasing use of solar and wind energy is giving rise to a great diversity of optimization problems, such as telecommunication infrastructures, electrical and transport networks, and support systems. In particular, these networks and systems are increasingly converging and becoming very large networks and systems.

This Special Issue aims to explore emerging concerns arising from the integration and transformation of the existing energy system and to give an overview of the wide spectrum of interesting algorithms, optimization problems, mixed integer linear programming models, and studies related to solution algorithms and their applications in renewable energy.

Manuscripts regarding new and innovative research proposals, algorithms and ideas of computer science, computational mathematics, optimization models, artificial intelligence, automation and control systems, theory, methods, interdisciplinary applications, data and information systems, and software engineering are particularly welcome to be submitted.

This Special Issue aims to explore the emerging concerns arising from integrating and transforming the existing energy system, with particular emphasis on algorithms applied to solving problems in this area.

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-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Algorithms is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 1800 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.
