1. Motivation and objective of the Special Issue:
We are witnessing a new evolving era in the global energy environment. This non-stable situation poses serious questions, challenges and opportunities for countries, industries, professionals and academics. This Special Issue will focus on how energy sectors should constantly adapt to continuously changing geopolitical, economic, technological and social conditions. The issue will present new research results in the areas of decision-making mechanisms in the energy markets and energy pricing, smart networks design and management, environmental and energy efficiency analysis.
The Special Issue seeks to publish novel research and reflect the most recent advances on the latest contributions on the above areas, covering new modeling techniques and formulations, as well as innovative case studies. Contributions will be selected through a refereeing process consistent with the standard reviewing process of the Energy Journal. Only original contributions of the highest quality will be included. This Special Issue should be of benefit to policy-makers and researchers worldwide, wherever there is a need to overcome challenges, design policy options, strive for new technological breakthroughs and seek investment opportunities towards a new era of energy transition.
