Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The energy sector is undergoing a transformative shift as societies around the world strive for sustainable, reliable, resilient, and economically viable energy solutions. The need to integrate renewable energy sources, improve energy efficiency, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions has sparked extensive research into optimizing the generation, distribution, and consumption of energy. As grids become increasingly complex with the rise of decentralized systems, electric vehicles, and smart technologies, robust approaches in optimization, modelling, and simulation are essential. These tools allow researchers and practitioners to address multifaceted challenges, from ensuring grid stability and forecasting demand to designing resilient systems that can adapt to the variable nature of renewable resources.
This Special Issue welcomes contributions across a wide range of topics that advance the understanding and performance of energy systems through innovative optimization, modelling, and simulation methods. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Advanced optimization algorithms and application.
- Simulation techniques for renewable integration.
- Predictive models for energy demand and supply.
- Machine learning for real-time grid management.
- Optimization for balancing cost and environmental impacts.
- Modelling of hybrid energy systems and microgrids.
- Resilience against disruptions.
- Improved energy storage solutions.
- Innovative demand response strategies.

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.
