Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, there has been a significant deployment of smart grids and a consequent rise in renewable power generation, resulting in a complex ecosystem with new entering actors. Therefore, the increased use of renewable energy and the emergence of distributed generation and storage systems necessitate new decision, optimization and control schemes for the management of energy resources, mainly due to the variability and intermittency of the renewable sources. Thus, modeling, optimization and control strategies need to be developed to manage the variability and randomness of the resources while ensuring the stability of the grid connected to renewable energy resources (RERs). In addition, advances in key technologies such as energy storage, communication, control, artificial intelligence, machine learning, IoT, smart electric vehicles, security and privacy issues have paved the way to new research directions and problem solving in the operation of smart grids.
This Special Issue aims to present and disseminate the most recent advances related to the theory, design, modeling, application, optimization, communication, control, and also planning and management of smart grids.
Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to:
- Modeling of control strategies for a robust smart grid;
- Smart grids, optimization, and artificial intelligence;
- Communication and control based on machine learning methodologies;
- Algorithms for modeling, optimization, and control;
- Wide area for monitoring, control, and protection;
- Advanced modeling approaches;
- Integration of renewable generation, distribution, and energy storage;
- Microgrids, distributed energy supply, and electricity markets;
- Energy management systems, demand response, efficiency, and challenges;
- Integration of electrical vehicles in smart grids;
- Smart grid protection/security;
- Distributed communications and sensing/metering in a smart grid.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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.
