Selected Papers on Energy Infrastructures from the International Symposium for Next Generation Infrastructure 2021 (ISNGI 2021)

Dear Colleagues,

Energy infrastructures (electricity, heat, hydrogen, gas, etc.) are an essential pillar of our society and hence contribute significantly to the welfare and wellbeing of citizens. The next generation of energy infrastructures will be both digitalized and intertwined. This digitalization allows for a better design, planning, and operation of the networks; monitoring can quickly detect malfunctions, while control can react to suboptimal conditions. Intertwining combines different energy infrastructures; heat networks provide flexibility for the electrical grid and gas networks can carry hydrogen. At the International Symposium for Next Generation Infrastructure 2021, these fundamental challenges and relevant solutions will be discussed. This Special Issue of Energies will publish selected papers that deal with energy infrastructures from this symposium.
