Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recent years have seen many dramatic changes in the supply, distribution, and consumption of energy. This is the result of both technological and political developments, including digitalization, sharp drops in the cost of renewable energy, coupling of energy sectors to multi-modal energy systems, and the social remit for adopting renewables into the generation mix. The field of energy informatics is a key element for both kinds of development—technological and political. New concepts can be realized and can play a role in new regulatory frameworks, e.g., concerning ancillary service markets.
While, in the first decade of energy informatics information systems, data quality and interoperability were the focus of research, the field now spans across all areas of energy system operation and management, including distributed generation control algorithms, user interaction systems, cyber security, and algorithmic trading in future energy markets.
With this Special Issue, energy informatics researchers are invited to submit new and ongoing research in the field of energy informatics in smart grids, including multi-modal 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.
