Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Smart grids are a revolutionary innovation in the field of power systems, marking a new phase of development in the power industry. This means that infrastructure built for traditional power systems will need to be significantly modified to meet the requirements of smart grids. Additionally, the rapid development of renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power, means that power systems must be able to effectively integrate these decentralised sources. Therefore, smart grids require intelligent power scheduling and management capabilities to balance energy supply and demand, ensuring the stable operation of the power system.
This Special Issue aims to present and disseminate the most recent advances related to the theory, design, modelling, application and control of smart grids.
Topics of interest for publication include engineering applications based on advanced methods and/or modern AI approaches related to (but are not limited to) the following areas:
- Smart grids optimisation and stability
- Integration of renewable energy sources and storage units in smart grids
- Power electronic converters in micro-grid environment
- Telecommunication technologies in smart grids
- Distributed generation and interconnection of alternative energy sources
- Power management systems and energy market
- Forecasting of renewable energy sources, loads, and electricity prices
- Predictive maintenance and asset management
- Increasing penetration levels of renewable energy sources

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.
