Modeling, Design and Engineering Optimization of Energy Systems

Dear Colleagues,

Comprehensive energy systems will play vital roles in promoting improvements in energy efficiency and renewable energy accommodation, which is an important strategy for achieving the goal of carbon neutrality.

Comprehensive energy systems aim to integrate various energy sources such as natural gas, electricity, and biomass within the region, achieving the collaborative planning, operation, and interactive response of heterogeneous energy sources. On the premise of meeting diversified energy demands, such systems can reduce costs and improve energy efficiency, potentially bringing economic and environmental benefits to different energy sectors.

This Special Issue aims to collect innovative research on state-of-the-art energy system modeling, design optimization, and engineering optimization technologies to support the sustainable development of integrated energy systems. We welcome articles and reviews focused on, but not limited to, the following topics:

• Design optimization and engineering optimization in energy systems considering various uncertain factors;
• Energy system modeling considering data privacy protection;
• Energy system modeling and design optimization considering flexibility and fairness;
• Trading strategies for multisource heterogeneous energy systems;
• Techno-economic and environmental analysis of heterogeneous energy systems;
• Intelligent solutions for resilient energy systems.

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 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 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.
