Dear Colleagues,

We are delighted to announce a Special Issue on "Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Applications in Smart Energy Systems." The main goal of this Special Issue is to bring together the latest research and developments in the areas of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) for smart energy systems.

As the demand for energy continues to increase, smart energy systems are becoming more prevalent in addressing the challenges associated with energy generation, distribution, and consumption. AI and ML have been identified as promising approaches to address these challenges, as they improve the efficiency, reliability, and sustainability of smart energy systems. Thus, this Special Issue aims to present original research articles, review papers, and case studies that demonstrate innovative applications of AI and ML in smart energy systems.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Machine learning for energy forecasting;
• Artificial intelligence in demand response;
• Intelligent control and optimization of energy systems;
• Big data analytics for smart grids;
• Reinforcement learning for energy management;
• Deep learning for energy system modeling and simulation;
• Cybersecurity and privacy in smart energy systems;
• Human–machine interactions and decision making in smart energy systems.

We invite researchers and practitioners to submit their original research and review papers on these and other related topics. All submitted manuscripts will undergo a rigorous peer-review process to ensure they are high quality and original. We look forward to your valuable contributions to this Special Issue.

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. 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.
