Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Adopted in 2015, the Paris Agreement covers approaches to adapt and mitigate the risks and impacts of climate change in societies. Policymakers, corporate leaders, researchers, and people in society have recognized, more than ever, the common concerns of environmental protection and discussed the necessary measures for future sustainability. In response, many countries stipulated carbon neutrality by 2050 in law or announced in public that it should be achieved. To reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions effectively, it is crucial to explore new technologies and deploy them in society. These include renewable energy technologies, such as solar, photovoltaic (PV), and wind power generation, storage, and hydrogen, which are promising measures for a sustainable society in the future. Meanwhile, large-scale deployment of renewable energy sources raises concerns about the coupling of their intermittent power with the current power grid systems. The digitalization of the power system is a promising approach to alleviate the stated concerns. The penetration of virtual power plants (VPPs), the Internet of Things (IoT), and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technologies into the power system paves the way to delivering flexible electric power in the digital power system. In addition to these power generation technologies, a digital power system requires an intelligent control system, an optimization module, and load and weather forecasting modules to make this system as smart as possible.
This Special Issue aims to present the future picture of smart power systems and their management by relying on distributed energy resources (DERs) and information technologies.
Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to:
- Power system digitalization.
- Virtual power plants.
- VPP and artificial intelligence (AI)/information technologies (ITs).
- Distributed energy resources.
- Electric vehicle (EV) installation and grid control.
- Vehicle to grid (V2G) technology and power distribution systems.
- Forecasting methods for renewable power generations.

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.
