Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to inform you that we are planning a Special Issue on grid resilience enhancement.
During the last century, climate change has caused an increase of extreme weather event occurrences: the frequency and severity of power outages caused by extreme weather events have increased, leading to enormous damages to people and economy. The risk of extreme impacts on power systems is likely to increase in the coming years.
Although the study of grid resilience has recently gained popularity, it is still not well established; in addition, due to its multi-disciplinarity (covering power system operation, civil and structural engineering, geography, computer science, probability, meteorology and climatology, etc.), research and development in this area is still being carried out by many institutions (e.g., utility companies, disaster management agencies, national weather services, etc.).
The motivation for this Special Issue lies in the need to collect the most recent and advanced studies of grid resilience, focusing on technical matters from the perspective of power system engineering with respect to extreme weather events.
We invite all interested colleagues to contribute their state-of-the-art review papers or latest studies related to advanced solutions to improve the resilience of medium-voltage distribution networks.
We hope that this initiative will be well-received among colleagues, and we look forward to your contributions.
We remain sincerely yours,
Prof. Dr. Alberto Geri
Prof. Dr. Marco Maccioni

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.
