Advances in Modeling, Control and Optimization of Renewable Energy Systems and Microgrids

Dear Colleagues,

The guest editor is inviting submissions to a Special Issue of Energies on the subject area of “Advances in Modeling, Control, and Optimization of Renewable Energy Systems and Microgrids”. Renewable energy is becoming a key player in electric power generation. It includes different sources such as wind, solar, hydro, tidal/wave, geothermal, and biomass. As some of these sources are intermittent, the current power systems and microgrids include more than a single source with storage capabilities to enhance their efficiency and operation. Modeling, control, and optimization techniques are important for understanding and efficiently operating these complex energy systems. Innovative solutions and state-of-the-art studies for renewable energy integration and microgrids will be collected in this Special Issue. Topics of interest for publication include but are not limited to the following:

• Renewable energy sources
• Nano- and micro-grids
• Energy storage (battery, fuel cell, etc.)
• Hybrid power systems
• Control, optimization, and energy management strategies for microgrids
• Forecasting for renewable energy
• Internet of Things (IoT) and artificial intelligence (AI) applications

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
