Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With an increase in Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) deployment, the current electricity system networks (ESNs) are becoming more consumer-centric, and this trend will continue with the adoption of energy trading in local markets. Energy trade between co-located decentralized energy systems is supported by Energy Trading Platforms (ETPs). The current ETPs are unstable as electricity is being traded among a network of participants that include consumers, producers, prosumers, pricing index agencies, central and local smart/micro/nano power grid operators. One of the more critical challenges is the reliance on third-party or centralized servers, which can serve as a single point of failure and cause high operating costs of centralized management, low transparency, and the potential risk of electricity transaction data tampering. Also, intermittency and randomness of DERs and the acute disruptions pose significant challenges for the resilient and sustainable planning and operation of electricity trading-enabled ESNs. This Special Issue is devoted to designing sustainable and resilient ETPs supported by the emergence of innovation systems, policies, and regulatory frameworks. We welcome original submissions that are scientifically rigorous and use different methodologies, including technical performance, reliability assessment, econometrics, Life cycle assessments, resilience analysis, simulations, demonstrations of digital inventions, and network analysis.

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 papers will be 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 2000 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.
