Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The global transition toward sustainable energy systems has set photovoltaic (PV) technology as a key pillar for the use of renewable energy adoption. However, the widespread integration of PV systems into power grids introduces challenges, such as intermittent generation, power quality issues, and system reliability concerns, correlated to the availability of the primary energy source and operational disturbances. To overcome these challenges, advanced control strategies are essential for optimizing performance, enhancing resilience, and ensuring the reliable integration of PV systems into modern energy infrastructures.
This Special Issue explores novel methodologies, algorithms, and technologies aimed at improving the operation, management, and resilience of PV systems.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Adaptive control techniques;
- Strategies for hybrid energy storage system control;
- Fault detection and mitigation;
- Grid-supportive control;
- Artificial intelligence and machine learning-based optimization;
- Approaches for enhancing energy efficiency and system stability;
- Innovations that strengthen the resilience of PV systems to disruptions, ensuring sustainable operation under varying conditions.
Contributions covering theoretical advancements, experimental validations, and practical applications are particularly encouraged.

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.
