Energy Systems Planning and Optimization (ESPO) is an international, interdisciplinary journal that aims to advance knowledge and innovation in the planning, analysis, design, and optimization of energy systems. The journal serves as a platform for high-quality research that addresses technical, economic, and environmental aspects of energy systems across multiple scales from components and subsystems to national and global networks.
The journal encourages the submission of original research articles, review papers, and case studies in the following (but not limited to) areas:
Strategic and operational planning of energy systems
Multi-objective and multi-criteria optimization methods
Integration of renewable and hybrid energy sources
Smart grid systems and distributed energy networks
Energy storage planning and optimization
Energy systems modeling and simulation
Demand-side management and energy forecasting
Policy, regulatory frameworks, and sustainability analysis
The journal welcomes interdisciplinary contributions from fields such as energy engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, operations research, economics, and environmental studies.
Our goal is to support the development of efficient, resilient, and sustainable energy infrastructures that meet future energy demands while minimizing environmental impacts.
