Optimal Operation and Control of Energy System and Power System

Dear Colleagues,

Replacing polluting coal and oil-fired electricity with renewable energy sources, such as wind or solar power, is widely agreed to be necessary for realizing net-zero emissions. However, due to the intermittent nature of renewable energy, the challenges posed by its integration in power grids are significant. Consequently, exploration of flexibility in energy production, the demand side, and different energy sectors is needed. Extensive efforts have thus been diverted to achieving optimal operation and control of energy systems and power systems in order to integrate high-proportion renewable energy by dispatching and coordinating various flexible resources.

This Special Issue invites the submission of original papers and review articles presenting new research results on control and operation in energy and power systems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Optimal control and operation of multi-energy systems;
• Robust or resilient control and operation;
• Smart management of distributed generation resources;
• Load prediction and management in energy systems;
• Cooperation of transmission network and distribution network;
• Advanced control and operation using artificial intelligence;
• Techniques for accelerating multiscale and multi-interactive energy systems.

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 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-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.
