Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Depending on the type of application and its scale (utility-scale solar power plants, medium-scale commercial systems, building-integrated solar energy systems, or small-scale applications down to energy harvested for wearable devices and sensor networks), the design and management of the solar power system should be considered when addressing the energy needs of the application whether on-grid or off-grid, based on the geographic location of the site and other factors, aiming at the most cost-effective and competitive configuration with a long system lifetime. Recent research focuses on the management of the interdisciplinary, intelligent, and innovative configurations of renewable energy systems, contributing to increased efficiency, reliability, and overall system yield.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Innovations photovoltaic system;
- Innovations thermal solar system;
- Thermal management systems for photovoltaic cells and panels in natural and concentrated light;
- Energy management of the small energy harvesting systems;
- Management of the energy storage systems;
- Solar hybrid power system management using Modular Multilevel Converter;
- Reliability and feasibility studies and consideration of critical issues encountered in solar hybrid power systems;
- Management of the grid integration of solar power systems;
- Energy management of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems.

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.
