Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Urban cities are facing enormous challenges in meeting their surging energy demand while decreasing carbon emissions. In recent years, low-carbon energy systems attract great attention and are deemed essential means for realizing sustainable cities. However, there are existing obstacles and research gaps in low-carbon energy system management towards sustainable cities. Developing efficient and intelligent solutions for low-carbon energy system management is a complex challenge involving interdisciplinary knowledge and expertise. This special issue, therefore, provides a forum for researchers and scientists to exchange novel research solutions and results to tackle challenges and obstacles in this domain, discuss how smart energy technologies can integrate with urban cities, and formulate policies towards sustainable cities. The detailed topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Urban energy systems
- Energy storage systems
- Low-carbon energy technologies
- Optimization and control techniques
- Big data, smart energy, and smart cities
- Energy efficiency and flexibility in buildings
- Urban energy resilience, policy, and economics
- Urban energy-water nexus
- District heating and CCHP in urban cities
- Reliability, robustness, fault-tolerance, and self-healing

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.
