Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The optimal power flow (OPF) model represents the problem of determining the best operating levels for electric power plants in order to meet demands given throughout a transmission network. Recently, many optimization methods have been developed to solve the OPF problem, particularly nonlinear complex optimization problems. Intelligent optimization methods are based on different concepts, such as evolutionary-inspired algorithms, human-inspired algorithms, natural-inspired algorithms, and artificial neural networks
This Special Issue (SI) aims at presenting novel research on optimization and control of electrical power systems. Confidently, this SI represents a hub for contributors/researchers for sharing their interesting, up-to-date research results. The key subjects of interest comprise, but are not limited to the following:
- All categories of economic load dispatch and optimal power flow in electrical power systems;
- Multi-objective optimal power flow in electrical power systems;
- Ill-condition optimal power flow;
- Solution of large-scale security constrained optimal power flow;
- Decomposition methods for distributed optimal power flow;
- Optimal power flow and demand response;
- Applications of artificial intelligence optimization in electrical power systems;
- Stochastic optimal power flow with renewable energy integration;
- Real-time operation of electrical systems;
- Deregulated power systems;
- Optimal power flow with integration of FACTS devices;
- Optimal allocations of electrical components in power systems;
- Optimal sizing of energy storage battery in electrical power systems;
- Renewable energy sources and support of energy storage systems;
- Power flow analysis and optimization in ring distribution networks;
- Smart grid and virtual power plants;
- Grid integration of renewable sources;
- Optimal power flow problem in hybrid AC/DC grids;
- Vehicle to grid operation;
- Planning of charging stations and their impact on the electrical grid.

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.
