Any other proposals within the scope of the journal are also welcome; for further information please see: https://www.mdpi.com/journal/energies/about.

The following information is required to be submitted: Special Issue title, introduction, and planned paper list.

The duties and benefits of serving as a Guest Editor are as follows:

• Re-defining the title and scope of this Special Issue;
• Making decisions on whether a manuscript can be accepted based on the reports we collect;
• Promoting the Special Issue and increasing its visibility at related academic conferences.

Guest Editorship: 2–3 editors in a team. This should balance the workload for the editors and enable an internal discussion in case any controversial issues arise. Moreover, as the Guest Editors have different research networks, the cooperation would broaden the coverage of potential authors, thereby increasing the influence of the Special Issue. Once your proposal has been approved, you can start organizing a team. The Publisher and Editor-in-Chief will review these co-editors to ensure that they meet the journal’s editorial requirements. We encourage teams to include editors from multiple institutions and locations. This diversity reduces potential conflicts of interest and helps the Special Issue reach a wider audience.

If you are interested in editing a Special Issue, please contact us before 31 December 2021. To propose or request further information, please contact the Energies Editorial Office (energies@mdpi.com). We look forward to hearing from you soon.

The cooling of electronic components is of utmost importance for the thermal management of data centers, fuel cells, insulated-gate bipolar transistors, and lithium-ion batteries, as well as a variety of other technological applications. Two-phase heat transfer is a great solution for most cases, due to the ability to cope with high heat fluxes and decrease the size of the systems. However, there is still a lack of deep understanding of the complex flow and transport processes and a corresponding lack of reliable and easy-to-use thermal design tools for small-scale components. This webinar intends to show some of the advancements in flow boiling, pool boiling, and recent results for both experimental and numerical research.

The transition from centralized to decentralized electricity networks has been accelerated in recent years. This was facilitated by the fast deployment of distributed energy resources (DERs), in line with grid modernization, thanks to recent advances in information and communication technology. As a part of this transition, customers are becoming prosumers, proactive players who can manage their flexible resources in response to market signals. Existing market paradigms do not facilitate the active participation of prosumers in the energy market. Hence, new liberalized market structures are needed to pave the way for prosumers’ participation in energy markets. Within this context, new market structures have been proposed in recent studies to incorporate prosumers into energy trading through local transactive markets, and peer-to-peer (P2P) energy trading.
