Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The new distributed energy systems are widely applied across various scenarios, such as residential buildings, commercial buildings, industrial parks, public facilities, etc. In the future, the new distributed energy systems will become the main way of urban energy supply, providing more reliability and stability. Meanwhile, the new distributed energy systems can also be combined with smart grids to achieve energy interconnection and intelligent management, providing stronger support for the sustainable development of energy. This Special Issue aims to present and disseminate the most recent advances related to the theory, design, modeling, application, control, and condition monitoring of distributed new energy system. The following are topics of interest:
- Prediction and aggregated adjustable capacity evaluation of distributed renewable energy resources.
- Multi-time-scale operation scheduling and lightweight intelligent energy management methods for distributed renewable energy systems.
- Low-carbon operation and carbon-trading mechanisms of new integrated distributed systems.
- Coordinated control of distributed energy resources, as well as safety and stability of control technology.
- Resilience enhancement technology of new distributed systems.
- Comprehensive energy system design, planning, operation, and trading decision-making for new distributed energy systems.
- Business model and ancillary service market design for new distributed energy systems.
- Strategies of reconfiguration, restoration, and safe operations of new distributed energy system under emergency conditions.
We look forward to your contributions.

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.
