Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Distributed energy resources are currently being deployed on a large scale to meet the requirements of increased energy demand and achieve socio-economic benefits for sustainable development. The integration of such distributed energy sources into the utility grid paves the way for microgrids, which are considered self-sustained systems for the efficient integration and management of distributed energy sources and multiple types of loads. Through microgrid technology, it is possible to achieve near-optimal operation of distributed energy sources and collaboration with distribution networks. However, the volatility, intermittency, and heterogeneity of distributed renewable energy pose significant challenges to the planning, operation, control, and market transactions of microgrids. How to maximize the value of microgrids and support efficient utilization of clean energy has attracted significant attention from academic and industry researchers.
This Special Issue aims to present and disseminate the most recent advances related to the theory and application of near-optimal operation of distributed energy resources based on microgrids.
Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Distributed resource aggregation and planning;
- Electricity market design for the efficient integration and management of distributed energy sources;
- Advanced optimization theory for microgrids planning and operations;
- Advanced optimization theory for active distribution networks with large-scale distributed energy sources;
- Grid-forming technologies for distributed energy sources and microgrids.

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.
