Optimizing Renewable-Energy-Driven Systems Using Thermodynamic, Economic, and Environmental Analyses

Dear Colleagues,

Today, the world warmly embraces new ideas and ambitious efforts for devising and implementing efficient, low-carbon, and low-cost technologies for our everyday life. Renewable energy sources are increasingly gaining attention for being zero/low carbon and being replenished easily. However, many endeavors still need to be undertaken to integrate these green energies with existing and future systems in order to put them into their optimal operation regarding thermodynamic, economic, and environmental perspectives. In this regard, we invite you to submit your research into this Special Issue that converges on optimizing renewable-energy-driven systems applying thermodynamic, economic, and environmental analyses in industrial and buildings with concerning global warming.

In the 2020s, improvements in renewable energy will play an essential task in reducing CO₂ emissions. For this to take place, however, approaches and progression in energy systems generation and utilization in buildings are critical factors. Hence, authors are welcome to submit their innovative findings related to techno-enviro-economic assessment for renewable energy optimization for this Special Issue.

We also encourage papers with innovation capability in the building-integrated renewable energy system, which is investigated economically and environmentally. This will also help to mitigate the hazards of postponing the net-zero decrease in industrial emissions. In certain cases, the economic cost of developing low-carbon, high-efficiency renewable energy systems, for example, might be more than the current carbon-intensive production methods. Authors are welcome to submit their innovative optimization to address thermodynamic (4E) analysis, such as energy, exergy, economic, exergoeconomic, and indeed heat transfer issues.

This Special Issue also welcomes scholars to submit manuscripts about renewable energy technology and its application capability systems to analyze thermodynamic, environmental, and economic performance stability.

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.
