Building Simulation Tool and Model

Dear Colleagues,

Recently, computer simulation and modelling capabilities have grown so fast due to the needs of most engineering applications. It is used in various industrial processes and is applied in combination with physical simulation systems to verify expected results. The aim of using the tools is to reduce the cost efficiency of running the experimental testing through high-cost applications, such as energy power systems, smart grid applications, etc. Nonetheless, practical green energy applications will boost the economy and reduce harmful emissions. Substantially, the simulation increases the ability of research engineering to develop friendly environment power systems which are highly demanding in global emissions issues, and reduce the use of oil and coal. In addition, the current energy system adapts optimization via a substantial modelling methodology and algorithm and can be verified through soled simulation tools.

In this context, for the Special Issue of Energies on “Building simulation tool and model”, we are seeking for original research studies which cover the development in power system dynamics, operation, and control, including renewable energy systems, optimal power flow (OPF) optimization, electric vehicle power systems, and reliability assurance. The integration of modelling power systems and smart grids for new renewable energy application is useful for measuring and testing potential features. It is our sincere pleasure to serve the university scientists, researchers, and leading scientists to share their thoughts and new ideas for future contributions to improve our environment for better health energy.

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.
