Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Guest Editor is inviting submissions to a Special Issue of Energies on the subject area of “Microgrid Energy Management”. The microgrids must meet several needs and expectations of customers and of the various stakeholders involved in the electrical energy chain. This heterogeneity requires identifying energy management so that it is able to address a variety of targets related to efficiency, power quality, resiliency, and affordability. Energy management should carefully take into account the presence of distributed energy resources (i.e., wind and solar energy sources) and of loads (e.g., plug-in electric vehicles) which are, for example, responsible for line overloading and critical voltage profiles.
This Special Issue will deal with innovative strategies for the management of microgrids. Topics of interest for publication include but are not limited to the following:
- Distributed energy resources;
- Energy storage systems;
- Active demand;
- Optimization methods;
- Resiliency and affordability of power systems;
- Power quality;
- Control strategies.
Prof. Dr. Pietro Varilone

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.
