Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Energy systems play an important role in modern society and economic development. However, with the transition to clean, low-carbon models, energy systems are becoming increasingly complex. This transition features a higher proportion of renewable energy, which is inherently intermittent and fluctuating, and presents significant challenges during various stages of energy systems, from planning, design, operation, and retrofitting to closure. New concepts, ideas, methods, and tools are thus vital in the aforementioned fields.
In the following Special Issue, entitled “Feature Review Papers in Section "Energy Systems"”, we invite review papers covering, but not limited to, the following aspects:
- Energy system transition strategies;
- Mid- to long-term energy system planning;
- Energy system design with multiple types of energy conversion or demands;
- Dynamics of energy systems;
- Integrated energy systems;
- Flexible operation and control of energy systems;
- Low-carbon transition of energy systems;
- Net-zero energy systems;
- Modelling, simulation, and optimization methods of energy systems;
- Energy systems and artificial intelligence (AI);
- Smart energy systems;
- Microgrid;
- Extended energy big data;
- Energy assessment models.

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. 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.
