Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Hybrid renewable power systems (HRPSs) usually consist of two or more technologies along with energy storage systems that convert energy from renewable sources (RESs) into electricity and heat. HRPSs have been introduced to overcome the unpredictable nature of RESs. In order to optimally utilize HRPSs, providing increased system efficiency as well as greater reliability in energy supply, three issues must be concurrently considered: optimal system design, operation, and cost.
Τhe optimization of the design process and the implementation of an effective control strategy at the lowest possible cost are key to high performance in terms of the efficiency, reliability, and durability of the system components.
This Special Issue will include articles on the following topics:
- the currently available techniques for developing a reliable design tool capable of being used to study the performance parameters of HRPSs from several points of view (technical, economic, and environmental effects);
- management strategies for optimizing the behaviour of single components (such as batteries) or maximizing RES harvesting;
- tracking of the optimal trade-off between system power reliability and cost;
- the current environmental impact of HRPSs across the whole life cycle and cradle to cradle.

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.
