Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Smart electric power grids have been the subject of extensive research and applications since the beginning of the last decade, including their integration with renewable electric energy sources. We invite original research papers dealing with optimization issues in smart electric power grids regarding their control, analysis, design, management, reliability, and security, as well as smart grid electric power production, distribution, and conditioning. Papers on load balancing, network topology, and pricing are also appropriate for publication in this Special Issue. The use of modern machine learning techniques (neural networks, support vector machines, reinforcement learning) are particularly welcome. Although many papers and several books have been published on these topics, this field remains challenging for research and implementation, with great potential for numerous applications in future electric networks.
Authors are encouraged to consult any of the Guest Editors regarding the suitability of their papers to this Special Issue.

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.
