Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Existing power systems are undergoing a significant transformation towards achieving a lower emission, more reliable, and more affordable operation. This objective is complicated, multi level, and practically challenging to achieve due to the highly dynamic operation issues at the generation, transmission, and distribution levels. With a specific focus on the distribution level, there is huge potential for transforming the challenging operation issues into opportunistic solutions for the whole system, including providing voltage and frequency support. By investigating the issue further, managing the distribution networks through a deregulated energy market would further promote a highly efficient and more reliable distribution of the power, which, in turn, can be of great support to the transmission networks. This problem requires comprehensive research in the field of smart grids, demand management, electric vehicles (EV) fleet management, optimal sizing, and the planning of distributed energy resources (DER). Considering the above topics, this Special Issue is targeting the most recent advances related to the management of modern distribution networks, which integrate a high level of DER. The main objective is to investigate the design and implementation of a distributed energy market and a distribution system operation concept.
Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Distributed energy resources (DER)
- Electric vehicles (EV)
- Battery energy storage system (BESS)
- Demand management
- Distribution energy market
- Peer-to-peer energy trading
- Multi-agent systems
- Distribution network service provider
- Distribution independent system operation (DISO)
- Distribution network planning
- Distribution feeders voltage control
- Distribution network operation
- DER forecasting
- Load forecasting
- Smart metering
- Smart grid

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. Energies 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.
