Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to our Special Issue titled “Low-Grade Heat-Driven Multigeneration Systems”, which will be published in the MDPI journal Sustainability. This Special Issue is open to submissions of review and research articles focusing on harnessing abundantly available low-grade heat to power multigeneration systems (cooling, electrical power, combined cooling and power, etc.). The aim of this Special Issue is to provide insights into the latest technological developments in low-quality heat-driven systems including but not limited to waste heat, solar heat, geothermal, and biomass energy. While there are a few commercial technologies operating at medium temperature ranges (150–300 ºC), there is still a lot of room and potential for R&D in the low-temperature range (<100 ºC).
The topics of interest for publications include but are not limited to:
- Thermodynamic cycles for waste heat recovery;
- Solar thermal refrigeration;
- Hybrid cycles and architectures;
- Combined cooling and power (CCP) cycles;
- Cogeneration, trigeneration and polygeneration systems;
- Energy and exergy analysis;
- Modelling, simulation and optimization of systems;
- Integration of thermal energy storage;
- Heat transfer enhancement;
- Geothermal energy utilization;
- CFD design and optimization for higher energy efficiency;
- Working fluid section;
- Thermo-economic optimization.
We look forward to receiving your paper. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions

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. Sustainability 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 2400 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.
