Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The 55th International Universities Power Engineering Conference (UPEC 2020) will be held on 1–4 September 2020 in Torino, Italy. The conference will be hosted by Politecnico di Torino. UPEC 2020 continues the long tradition of the UPEC conferences. These conferences are particularly aimed at hosting scientific contributions presented by young researchers and PhD students who meet each other, as well as with experienced researchers and professors, to discuss their research lines. The conference UPEC 2020 has the motto “Verifying the Targets”, and will deal in particular with research topics concerning the role of electricity for a sustainable energy transition.
A set of papers will be selected for submission of a substantially improved version to this Special Issue “Verifying the Targets—Selected Papers from the 55th International Universities Power Engineering Conference (UPEC 2020)”. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Active distribution networks and virtual power plants
- Advanced metering infrastructures
- Condition monitoring and diagnostics
- Continuity of supply, reliability, and resilience
- Data analytics and artificial intelligence applied to power systems
- Demand side management, flexibility, and demand response
- Distributed generation
- Electrical machines and drives
- Electric vehicles and e-mobility
- Electromagnetics and electrostatics
- Energy efficiency in buildings
- Energy storage systems
- Environmental impacts and targets
- High voltage engineering
- HVDC, FACTS, and power electronics for grid integration
- ICT for future electricity grids
- Load and generation forecasting
- Magnetic materials for energy
- Multi-energy systems and networks
- Power system dynamics and stability
- Power system operations and control
- Power engineering education
- Power quality
- Power system economics and electricity markets
- Power system modelling and analysis
- Power system optimization and planning
- Power system protections
- Renewable energy systems
- Smart grids
- Substation and distribution system automation
- Standardization and rulemaking
- Sustainable e-transition

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.
