Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Energy sufficiency is a concept that resonates throughout today’s world. It is a problem that affects not only developing countries, but also advanced economies. We can see its consequences and hear the phrase “energy poverty” more and more often. This, in turn, is related to the affordability of energy, which is slowly but surely moving toward a luxury good. Basically, we have two options for dealing with this problem. The first one consists in increased energy production and the other one in its optimized use (saving). Therefore, research and development in the field of production is an extremely current topic (the adjective “green” is often used in this context, sometimes even unjustifiably). The key issue, with regard to the techniques and technologies of Industry 4.0, is the extraction of residual energy directly from the immediate vicinity of the powered technologies, i.e., energy harvesting. These are the topics covered in this Special Issue of Sustainability, which will present the current results of research and development by leading experts in areas such as:
- Energy-saving techniques and technologies;
- New trends and ideas in energy harvesting;
- Energy management systems;
- Energy sustainability in the IoT;
- Energy storage systems;
- Battery management systems;
- Batteries;
- Supercapacitors;
- Energy combining;
- Energy management;
- Hybrid power generation;
- Power transfer;
- Modeling on energy consumption, generation, or storage.
In particular, we encourage our colleagues to submit studies exploring the topics mentioned above

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.
