Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The advent of wireless technologies has revolutionized the modern energy system, paving the way for enhanced efficiency, reliability, and sustainability. These technologies, leveraging the power of the Internet of Things (IoT), have transformed the way energy is generated, transmitted, distributed, and consumed. Wireless sensors, with their ability to monitor, control, and communicate, play an important role in this sector. For example, wireless IoT devices allow real-time monitoring of energy generation and consumption, enabling predictive maintenance and ensuring optimal operation of energy systems. For instance, in renewable energy systems like solar and wind farms, wireless sensors help monitor environmental conditions and equipment performance, facilitating timely maintenance and preventing costly downtime. Moreover, in the development of smart grids, wireless networks are used to collect data about grid conditions and energy usage patterns, allowing us to optimize energy distribution, reduce energy waste, and improve grid reliability. Furthermore, demand response strategies allow energy providers to adjust their energy supply based on real-time demand information.
Despite these significant benefits, the implementation of wireless sensing technologies presents challenges. These include issues related to sensor network design, data security, and the energy efficiency of the sensors themselves. Addressing these challenges requires ongoing research and development efforts. The scope of this Special Issue includes the following topics:
- Wireless sensing applications and technologies for energy systems;
- Wireless networks and the IoT for energy systems;
- The energy efficiency, sustainability, and resilience of wireless networks;
- Wireless technologies for smart grids;
- Wireless technologies for demand responses;
- Sensors and applications for energy systems;
- Battery-less wireless sensors and applications;
- Scalability and interoperability of wireless networks for energy systems;
- Wireless sensor networks for fault location and real-time monitoring;
- Wireless technologies for micro-grids.

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. Sensors 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.
