Modeling for Energy Consumption Analysis

Dear Colleagues,

Energy has been the primary factor in deciding the development of modern civilization. Indeed, the demand for energy consumption is expected to increase dramatically in the near future. The use of renewable energy resources and nuclear energy are the possible solutions to prevent an energy crisis. Additionally, energy production, storage, transmission, and distribution are crucial for the appropriate management of resources. There is a need to create solutions and techniques for rational energy administration. Reliable models of real systems must be developed to understand and optimize energy expenditure. This Special Issue aims to explore the abovementioned topics. We invite researchers to publish original and high-quality manuscripts on the modeling and simulation of real systems. Furthermore, we encourage authors to send other related works for possible publication. There is the possibility to extend the topics to encompass additional research that will contribute to energy consumption.

Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to:

• Renewable energy resources (solar, wind, geothermal, biomass, ocean currents, failing water)
• Energy aware systems development
• Rational energy expenditure
• Energy efficient path planning
• Autonomous systems
• Energy expenditure predicting and forecasting
• Alternative energy
• Energy conversion & storage (batteries, fuel cells, large-scale storage)
• Fossil fuels economy
• Data analytics for prediction of energy generation
• Power system planning and operation modeling
• Energy security
• Environmental impacts
• Energy systems modelling and analysis (energy systems analysis, carbon management, zero-emission energy solutions)
• Energy markets and consumers
• Electric and hydrogen-powered vehicles
• Energy-based optimization
• Energy-based control

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. Energies 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 2600 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.
