Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Geographic information systems and remote sensing techniques are tools which are largely applied to the energy field. The assessment of the potential of renewable energy sources (RES) is one of the key steps in planning high-penetration renewable energy systems. To do so, several different methods can be used, such as in situ measurements (cup anemometers and buoys), satellite image data, on-site remote sensing tools (e.g., LIDAR and SODAR), and reanalysis datasets (e.g., ECMWF and MERRA).
This Special Issue aims at providing the state-of-the-art on all of the aforementioned tools in different energy applications and at different scales, i.e., urban, regional, national, and even continental for renewable scenarios planning and policy making.
For all the aforementioned reasons, we encourage researchers to share their original works in the field of GIS and remote sensing for renewable energy assessment and maps.
Topics of primary interest include but are not limited to:
- Geospatial Information tools for renewable energy assessment;
- Remote sensing techniques and tools;
- Reanalysis datasets and platform;
- Spatial planning for Sustainable Development Goals;
- Mapping and assessing RES potential;
- Urban energy tools;
- Best practices and case studies.

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.
