Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over recent decades, distribution networks have faced several changes; among them, the widespread installation of distributed sensors and SCADA systems is enabling operators improving voltage control in networks. The development of these new levers for DSO is needed to allow for the growth of distributed generation from fluctuating energy resources, the electrification of consumption, and the widespread use of electric vehicles.
In this context, research activities play a fundamental role in developing new optimization methods for inclusion in innovative frameworks for voltage control. Moreover, the potential benefits provided by distributed energy resources and flexibility resources for voltage regulation frameworks are still under investigation.
The motivation for this Special Issue lies in the need to collect the most recent and advanced studies on voltage control and optimization for power distribution networks. We invite all interested colleagues to contribute their state-of-the-art review papers or latest studies related to this topic.
Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Innovative voltage regulation frameworks;
- Optimization methods for voltage control;
- Distributed energy resources for voltage regulation;
- Flexibility energy resources for voltage regulation;
- Optimal reactive power planning;
- Voltage regulation schemas among network codes.
We hope that this initiative will be well-received among colleagues, and we look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Tommaso Bragatto

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.
