Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue features papers presented and discussed at the 11th International Conference on Smart Energy Systems (SESAAU2025), held in Copenhagen on 16–17 September 2025.
The conference aims to provide a platform for presenting and discussing scientific findings and industrial experiences related to smart energy systems. Key topics include renewable energy, 4th Generation District Heating Technologies and Systems (4GDH), and the electrification of heating and transportation sectors, electrofuels, and energy efficiency. Over the years, the conference has evolved into a premier venue for insightful presentations and productive debates on subjects crucial to the development and implementation of smart energy systems, helping to achieve national and international objectives.
