This special issue belongs to the section “A1: Smart Grids and Microgrids“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleague,
This Special Issue will present the latest research methods, system developments, and technologies relating to intelligent energy management systems and their implementations within smart grids and community applications. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Applied AI techniques for smart energy systems;
- Hybrid energy systems’ design, modelling, simulation, control, integration, planning, and management;
- Applied AI for energy policies;
- Hydrogen process technologies and infrastructure;
- Carbon capturing and storage technologies;
- Applied quantum AI and quantum energy;
- Intelligent energy management systems;
- Smart energy–water systems;
- Smart energy for clean transportation;
- Smart waste-to-energy process technologies;
- Interconnected infrastructure;
- Smart electronics.
Contributions from researchers, students, and professionals are welcomed to facilitate the discussion on state-of-the-art research and developments in these areas and to reflect potential implementations and projects in urban, remote, and waterfront communities, as well as industrial applications.
Prof. Dr. Hossam A. Gaber

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.
