Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is my pleasure to invite submissions to the Special Issue on “Artificial Intelligence and Mathematical Models Applied in Optimal Dispatch of Smart Grids”. Energy policy strategies are promoting renewable energy to address global warming, reduce their dependence on fossil-fuel-based electricity, and improve the security of energy supply. Introducing renewable energy to an increasingly competitive electricity market requires new technologies and operating systems to address new technical and economic challenges arising from the optimal integration of available resources. Smart grids, virtual power plants and digital transformation are keys to this integration.
In this Special Issue, we invite original and unpublished research work in areas including (but not limited to):
- Optimal techno-economic dispatch of smart grids and virtual power plants
- Mathematical models for integration of distributed energy resources and demand in electricity markets
- Aggregated flexible electricity consumption and generation
- Real implementation of virtual power plants
- Optimization methods for managing uncertainties from renewable energy sources in smart grid dispatch
- Big data and machine learning in smart grid operation
- Multi-agent systems for smart grid dispatch
- Energy management systems for coordinating power flow between generators, loads and storage
- Provision of ancillary services by smart grids

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.
