Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Electricity demand is rapidly increasing. Smart grids allow the management of energy and real-time balancing between electrical energy supply and demand. There is an urgent need for innovative business models and policies and new mathematical models and approaches for the efficient integration of distributed energy resources in power and energy systems according to the smart grid paradigm.
This call aims at bringing together the latest research in the area of energy management and smart grids.
Topics of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to:
- Energy management concepts;
- Smart grids visions of power system innovation, reliability and efficiency of the distribution grid;
- Demand flexibility;
- Generation flexibility;
- Modeling of smart grids;
- Demand side response;
- Algorithms and approaches on the consumer side;
- Energy trading among interconnected microgrids;
- Control applications to distributed energy management systems;
- Energy management systems for smart grids;
- Stochastic optimization methods for energy management;
- Energy management approaches for demand-side applications;
- Smart energy storage;
- Load balancing in smart grids;
- Smart cities, case studies, business models, and innovative applications;
- Emerging technologies and end-user systems.

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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. Applied Sciences 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.
