Intelligent and Flexible Energy Management Strategies (EMSs) and Technologies
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
Intelligent Energy and Flexible management strategies (IEFMS) incorporate advanced technologies to achieve an efficient and flexible form of power management that ensures delivery at a time-scale ranging from seconds to years. The efficient implementation of energy storage systems (ESSs) must cover the power variability of distributed generation in the short-term, compensate for the intermittent nature of renewable generation and serve as a means of improving power quality and reliability.
Intelligent and flexible energy management strategies (EMSs) tackle the minimization of operational costs and cost for end-users, and minimization of emissions and peak loads, as well as satisfying the technical constraints for dynamic heterogeneous complex systems including renewables and non-renewable sources, ESS, demand-side management (DSM) and hybrid systems.
The topics of interest include:
- The state-of-the-art in intelligent control and smart energy management methods;
- Planning and flexible energy management in smart distribution networks in the presence of electric vehicles;
- Energy storage technologies and energy carriers (batteries, chemical, thermochemical storage, H2), maintenance, operability and aging of ESSs;
- Modelling and optimization methods (model predictive EMS; artificial intelligence; digital twins);
- Siting, sizing, and selection of ESSs, incorporating market prices and operating parameters and model predictive EMSs;
- Upstream network energy cost and flexibility benefits;
- Distributed power generation of micro/smart grids;
- Case studies for different applications in transportation, Home Energy Management Systems and renewable resources;
- Sustainability and EMS;
- Future directions and research perspectives in IEFMS and smart energy.

Preprints.org is a multidisciplinary platform offering a preprint service designed to facilitate the early sharing of your research. It supports and empowers your research journey from the very beginning.
MDPI Topics is collaborating with Preprints.org and has established a direct connection between MDPI journals and the platform. Authors are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity by posting their preprints at Preprints.org prior to publication:
- Share your research immediately: disseminate your ideas prior to publication and establish priority for your work.
- Safeguard your intellectual contribution: Protect your ideas with a time-stamped preprint that serves as proof of your research timeline.
- Boost visibility and impact: Increase the reach and influence of your research by making it accessible to a global audience.
- Gain early feedback: Receive valuable input and insights from peers before submitting to a journal.
- Ensure broad indexing: Web of Science (Preprint Citation Index), Google Scholar, Crossref, SHARE, PrePubMed, Scilit and Europe PMC.
