Design, Monitoring and Dynamic Model Development of Energy System

Dear Colleagues,

The need for resilient and secure communication solutions in the design, monitoring, and development of energy systems is paramount to ensure the smooth operation, reliability, and protection of critical infrastructure. Resilient communication solutions provide robust connectivity and enable seamless data exchange between various components of the energy system, including power plants, substations, smart meters, and control centers. This facilitates real-time monitoring, control, and coordination, ensuring efficient energy management and response to dynamic conditions. Secure communication solutions, on the other hand, protect against cyber threats, unauthorized access, and data breaches. Encryption, authentication protocols, and firewalls help safeguard the integrity and confidentiality of communication channels, preventing unauthorized manipulation or interception of sensitive information. By implementing resilient and secure communication solutions, energy systems can enhance their resilience, maintain operational continuity, and effectively defend against emerging cybersecurity risks, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the entire energy infrastructure.

This Special Issue on “Design, Monitoring and Dynamic Model Development of Energy System” intends to present novel resilient and secure communication solutions for energy systems. Topics include but are not limited to:

• Dynamic models for integration of distributed energy systems;
• Monitoring and control of distributed energy systems;
• Cybersecurity solutions for distributed energy systems.

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. Processes is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2400 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.
