Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Electrical energy systems are rapidly changing. In the past, they were passive networks; nowadays, however, the increasing presence of distributed generation, including that from renewables and storage systems, has turned them into active systems. New grid architectures and new paradigms are needed to solve many technical problems and to aid in the transition to smart grids. In this context, autonomous or grid-connected microgrids represent a very interesting solution allowing increased renewable penetration, improved efficiency and the resilience of the main electrical systems, overall contributing to the sustainable and competitive development of these systems.
This Special Issue will cover the latest research, technology and developments in this field, presenting contributions on different aspects of renewable energy systems (RESs) and microgrids.
In this framework, we encourage the submission of papers dealing with (but not limited to) the following topics:
- RES/microgrid technologies, strategies and techniques;
- Design, operation and control of RES/microgrids;
- Assessments and performance analysis of RES/microgrids;
- Power electronics and grid integration issues for RES/microgrids;
- Energy management in RES/microgrids;
- Protection techniques for RES/microgrids;
- Support policies for RES/microgrids in the electrical energy systems;
- Regulatory, market, technological and socio-economic challenges for a real energetic integration of RES/microgrids in electrical energy systems;
- Smart grid applications.

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.
