Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Microgrids offer a great opportunity to integrate renewable energies and energy storage into DC and AC power systems in a more efficient and smart manner. Moreover, by connecting multiple microgrids to constitute a cluster, the efficiency of the power system can be further improved, and the utilization of renewable energies can be maximized thanks to the power flow among microgrids. Recently, advanced energy forecast approaches and intelligent optimization algorithms have been applied to distributed power systems. Meanwhile, the energy management and power dispatch of microgrids considering multifactors, e.g., carbon emission and user side response, is an important way to improve system performance. This Special Issue aims at encouraging researchers to address these important issues and other challenges in the optimal dispatch of microgrids and microgrids cluster as follows:
- Optimal operation and economic dispatch of microgrids;
- Hierarchical optimal control techniques for microgrids;
- Advanced control with multifunctional features for microgrids;
- Multiobjective optimization techniques for power management in microgrids;
- Advanced power forecast approach for microgrids;
- Energy management system for microgrid cluster;
- Demand side management and demand response;
- Optimal planning and operation of microgrid clusters.

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.
