Modeling, Optimization, Control and Demand Response of Electric Power and Energy Systems

Dear Colleagues,

Energy is one of the most important never-ending needs that human beings have. Due to the exponential growth in power consumption and energy demand in the era of technology-driven societies, the necessity for more stable and efficient power system with zero-emission models is in desperate need. However, the complexity of such power systems has pushed the traditional models to the limit. Existing and emerging solutions are becoming difficult to implement due to the growing complications pertaining to on- and off-grid situations. Interests regarding the modelling of robust and resilient electric power and energy systems, with optimization scheme for existing resource utilization, and efficient control strategies, are burgeoning among researchers to meet the increasing demand of the energy. Applications to cars, storage devices, or robots are also welcomed.

The purpose of this Special Issue is to solve these problems together, collect collaborative research in various spectra, and contribute to the research globally in relation to power generation, transmission, or distribution systems modelling, optimization, and control. The bottom line of this Special Issue is to establish more reliable, sustainable, and intelligent power system and energy models to solve a complex power system. The research in this Special Issue thus includes, but is not limited to:

1. Energy demand, uncertainties, challenges, and stability issues
2. Novel energy and power system models
3. Dynamic and steady-state responses in power systems
4. Quality and stable energy based on modelling and control methodologies
5. Generation, transmission, distribution, and energy storage
6. On-/off-grids with clean Renewable energy sources and reduction in gas emissions
7. Modelling of various control strategies for robust and resilient grid systems
8. Power system automation, optimization, artificial intelligence, or sustainability
9. Alternative energy and power system solutions
10. Application to electric (hybrid) cars, robots, flying vehicles or their batteries

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.
