Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Guest Editors are pleased to invite submissions in a Special Issue entitled “Challenges and Research Trends of Distributed Control and Optimization.”
The development of distributed control and optimization methods is of great significance to promote the application of the complex system including multiple interconnected subsystems, where only partial information of the whole system can be accessible to each subsystem. This Special Issue aims to collect and represent the recent challenges and advances in fundamental research and technical trends of distributed control and optimization. Besides, it also focuses on the new development of distributed control and optimization methodologies in practice-oriented complex systems, especially, microgrids and renewable energy systems.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Advanced methods in distributed control or optimization for complex systems;
- New distributed control architectures for multi-agent systems;
- Theories regarding distributed optimization of network systems;
- Coping with uncertainties or disturbances in distributed control or optimization;
- New theories and methods for mathematical analysis of distributed control and optimization (regarding convergence, optimality, stability, robustness, and so on);
- Advanced distributed control and optimization algorithms in energy systems (for examples, smart grids, mcrigrids, renewable energy systems, and so on)
- Hierarchical architectures in distributed control and optimization

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.
