Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
I am the Guest Editor for the Special Issue “Efficient Generation Capacity Allocation of Electric Power Systems” of the open-access journal Energies, and I would like to invite you to contribute an article to this Special Issue on your current research.
Generation expansion planning is practically still done in a heuristic manner by system operators. That was sufficient when there were only a few candidate locations for new capacities, because a small number of power flows for the suggested expansion options was enough to determine if the future system will respect system constraints. However, as distributed generation increases with the RES “frenzy”, the candidate locations become numerous. Thus, a more concise method is needed to coordinate the allocation of new capacities on the network in order to exploit the existing network capabilities to the “maximum”. This “maximum” is also redefined today, as traditional constraints (voltage limits, line thermal limits, etc.) are now expanded to power quality and security issues.
What we are seeking for this Special Issue is novel, effective allocation methods of new generation capacity under those new terms. I believe your research could be of great importance for the scientific community in this field and providing it in an open-access format will certainly maximize its value.

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.
