Women's Research in Smart Energy Systems

The Special Issue ‘Women's Research in Smart Energy Systems’ aims to create a collection of excellent works in electrical and energy engineering led by women or mostly authored and carried out by women. It is well known that women are underrepresented in electrical engineering and in the energy field but their contribution is often very important, not only from the technical point of view but also based on their natural ability to lead research groups with a strongly cooperative approach. The ability to create a sense of belonging and to understand people comes into play when challenges get tougher.

The Special Issue will collect contributions in the field of smart grids and microgrids, in the area of advanced ICT solutions for power systems and energy systems, and in the field of cable fault detection. Applications of artificial intelligence to the energy area are very welcome, as well as contributions that consider the cross-cutting issues around the clean energy transition most countries are facing. Studies on clean mobility, zero emission vehicles, and waterborne transport are also most welcome.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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-anonymized 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.
