Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the energy transition we are undergoing, solar power generation is one of the world's major powers for our decarbonization. Having intelligent systems adapted to the energy needs of communities is an obvious necessity. To optimize this change, this Special Issue proposes new trends and advances to develop new technologies related to power generation. New developments, new concepts, and future trends will be welcome to achieve hybridization and conceptualize the energy of the future.
Solar energy, energy from biomass, and new individual or hybridized concepts may be key to the future. The generation of electricity from the sun has many connotations and forms of realization. Energy management also goes from production itself to storage and transport. This combination of elementary processes must continue to evolve, so improvements and innovations are needed.
Therefore, tentative manuscripts related to scientific progress in power generation and its management are accepted in this new framework. Resource assessment, design, modeling, implementation, system control, and tuning will interest this journal.

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.
