Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The aims and scope of the special Issue:
Massive population growth and economic growth have pushed global energy consumption to unprecedented levels within the last century. In order to reduce these costs, advances in smart metering technology and energy storage systems have led to a decentralized approach to energy management referred to as distributed energy systems (DES).
Energy landscapes are changing from a traditional centralized model for power generation and delivery to a diverse, dynamic, and complex system with multiple actors and multilayered energy sources due to renewable energy sources, smart metering technologies, and regulations that reduce energy consumption.
Using distributed energy systems to generate energy on-site and manage loads can reduce costs, improve reliability, and secure revenue.
Renewable Energy - Solar PV panels, microturbines, wind turbines, biogas generators, fuel cells can provide energy sources for a distributed energy system.
The community and the future generation must also be educated and explained about insufficient technological developments.

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.
