Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The search for intrinsic usage-limited performance can lead to poor life cycle solutions in terms of resource consumption, pollution, greenhouse gas emissions and other environmental impacts. Despite the fact that electrical systems are known to greatly improve energy efficiency, they have disastrous impacts on the environment.
An awareness is growing among research laboratories, increasingly considering environmental issues related to the new and old uses of electrical systems. For instance, although it is necessary, the use of renewable energy for a system to be sustainable. For it to be sustainable, the environmental cost of the system itself over its life cycle must be considered. This complex problem needs first to be characterized specifically for electrical systems. Then, tools must be designed to address the issues, to find the trade-offs between functional and environmental performance. Thus, this defines sustainable performance optimization of electrical systems, the scope of this Special Issue.

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. Sustainability 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.
