Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
There have been recent attempts to visualize big data and apply a digital mock up (DMU) to energy systems. DMU is a technology that can largely reduce time and cost by applying 3D solid modeling based on the data provided to parts that are to be manufactured. These parts are then assembled and examined on a computer screen to identify any errors in the design stage or address possible manufacturing issues in advance to improve quality. The application of DMU allows each system designer to achieve optimal designs within a limited space by receiving necessary design data for a system that must be mounted during the re-designing of parts or design of additional parts.
Additionally, similar to the energy-gauge user interface (UI) of electric vehicles, a technology that virtualizes electric energy has been commercialized, in conjunction with a big data study, which aims not only to monitor electric power usage in real time but also to predict future applications.
The significance of such a study especially lies in designing an electric system that understands the peak or off-peak periods of electric demand from electric power-based devices/equipment, including electric vehicles, smart homes or solar power stations and virtualizing the prediction of future power demands.
Meanwhile, the papers for this Special Issue will include some original developments, such as monitoring the power usage of old buildings with digital meters through power line communication (PLC). In addition, manuscripts that propose energy system solutions in the context of new multimedia technology relevant to virtualization (AR/VR/Metaverse, etc.) are most welcome. Additionally, papers focusing on the topics of software or hardware aspects are welcome as long as they focus on virtualization technology.
For this purpose, this Special Issue is open to receiving a variety of high-quality manuscripts concerning the purpose of solving (using DMU, new multimedia technology; visualization) challenges regarding Industry 4.0 based on smart grid/micro grid/power plants/energy harvesting. Participants may choose to write about one of the subjects listed below, though authors are not necessarily limited to these topics:
- Energy harvesting system service respecting human beings and their livelihood;
- Energy harvesting solutions of artificial intelligence and big data;

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.
