Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Existing power grids are transforming at a tremendous pace due to rapid changes in both generation and load technology. In certain power grids, these changes have extended to include power transmission with the presence of advanced High-Voltage DC (HVDC) and Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) technology. These changes are experienced through increases in Inverter Based Resources (IBR) penetration, uptake in Electric Vehicles (EVs), expanding installations of Distributed Energy Resources (DER), and increased variable demand from large flexible loads such us data centers and crypto miners. Power system operators have already started investigating the applications of advanced tools in the study and planning of grid operations. While there is a need to provide accurate, fast, and low-cost solutions to these challenging grid conditions, applications of AI in the prediction and optimization of secure power operation conditions has been demonstrated to be a feasible option. However, due to the complication of the power system supply chain, there is a necessity for researching the applications of AI at all stages of power system operation planning. These research areas may include generation interconnection, system stability and configuration, energy market optimization, and distribution operation planning.

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).
