Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Clean energy systems, featuring zero carbon emissions, are on the forefront of today’s research regarding the need to protect our environment against global warming and fossil fuel depletion. Decarbonization strategies along with novel energy systems have diverted research groups to the working areas of renewable energy, alternative fuels, energy efficiency improvement, autonomous systems design, waste management and energy policy regulations. To this end, the integrated framework for the modeling, simulation, automation and control of energy systems has become an essential tool for predicting system performance under stochastic disturbances and unpredictable variations (either short-term or long-term). Moreover, the modeling and control framework plays an essential role in the design, analysis and optimization of modern energy systems relying on AI techniques. Distributed generation, umnaned operation and smart grid technologies have emerged at the forefront of energy sector commercialization. This research area serves as a foundation for developing sustainable, reliable and intelligent energy infrastructure.
This Special Issue, entitled “Modeling, Simulation and Control in Energy Systems—2nd Edition”, aims to collect high-quality research studies (including state-of-the art review papers) addressing challenges pertaining to the broad areas of energy management, utilization and storage. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Mathematical programming and control of energy systems;
- Energy efficiency in electrical or hydrogen vehicles, buildings and power stations;
- Renewable energy systems and energy storage;
- Electrochemical standalone or hybrid systems (batteries, fuel cells and electrolyzers);
- Waste-to-power and power-to-X technologies;
- Distributed and off-grid energy systems;
- Complex transport phenomena in energy processes;
- Energy management and optimization.
This is a continuation of the first edition of this Special Issue, which collected more than 15 research papers. The first edition can be found here:

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. 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.
