Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue touches on disciplines related to energy generation, conversion, and management. The use of available energy resources concerns all areas of the economy and all types of activities. The energy transformation affects the electricity, heating, and transport sectors, with broader implications.
To carry out a rational transformation of the system, cooperation between electrical engineers, energy engineers, civil engineers, environmental engineers, and other specialties is necessary. In such cases, it is also necessary to use SMART and AI technologies.
Modern science and industry require cooperation between scientists from many disciplines and specialties.
The papers presented in this Special Issue should address issues related to energy transformation. Experts in the field are encouraged to share their latest findings in the form of original research papers.
Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to:
- recent advances in energy transformation technologies;
- new materials in the energy transformation;
- energy efficiency, energy efficiency, impact of own-use equipment on electricity production;
- renewable energy sources;
- smart grid;
- measurement and prediction of renewable energy sources production
- storage systems;
- V2G (vehicle-to-grid) technology;
- energy policy;
- power quality;
- power electronic converters;
- low-energy buildings;
- thermal engineering;
- refrigeration, air-conditioning, and heat pump technology;
- thermal flow;
- application of AI in energy modelling and management.

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.
