Smart Energy

Dear Colleagues,

This Topic has been developed to provide networking and collaborating opportunities for practitioners in the fields of smart energy, low-carbon communities, renewable energy and storage, as well as associated artificial intelligence (AI) applications. It is expected to engage the international participation of academics, researchers, and professional practitioners to share knowledge and experience from the frontiers of research and practices. The sharing of ideas would bridge gaps and enrich understanding with a systemic, cross-disciplinary perspective.
