Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The future energy sector will rely on advanced energy conversion systems that combine different technologies in complex hybrid and/or polygeneration structures, which will likely be part of synergistic approaches among energy, water and waste treatment processes. Future structures are expected to have minimal environmental impact, and high thermodynamic and economic benefits. Multi-criteria and dynamic analyses can be very useful in the evaluation of such advanced energy conversion systems, as they can be used to account for the variation of resource availability, and the simultaneous consideration of several criteria, trade-offs and energetic, social and technological synergies. Rigorous evaluation tools for complex energy systems can offer engineers and policy makers credible results to support reliable decisions on how to best support an ever-evolving energy sector.
This Special Issue is expected to become a resourceful collection of valuable scientific works on the above topics, supporting the transition towards a more sustainable and viable future energy sector. Manuscripts will undergo rigorous review, they should be well written, unpublished and report significant advancements.

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 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.
