Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Climate change poses a serious threat to our society, and the energy system plays an important role if we are to avoid this threat. Renewable energy is key, and the distributed resources are extra important because of the especially high value of the electricity production close to consumption.
It is not only electricity production that needs the be considered, but also the grid itself. Due to urbanization, increased electricity consumption, and the fact that renewable energies require more grids than conventional power sources, substantial extension and/or refurbishment are expected. This is despite the fact that we know that grids and grid components also have a negative impact on society, not only financially but also environmentally and socially.
This Special Issue seeks to contribute to make the transition to renewable based energy systems and sustainable distribution grids as smooth as possible and to avoid along-the-way solutions that require correction later. We therefore invite innovative technical developments, reviews, case studies, and analytical, as well as assessment, papers from different disciplines, which are relevant to make the transition as efficient and direct as possible.

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.
