Summary
The development of next-generation energy systems has become a critical research priority amid rising energy demand, environmental constraints, and the urgent need for sustainable, efficient solutions. Recent advances in bioenergy, bioelectrochemical systems, environmental biotechnology, mechanical engineering, building energy science, and photovoltaic technologies have enabled the emergence of integrated and hybrid energy systems that improve energy efficiency, resource utilization, and environmental performance. This interdisciplinary research area plays a key role in addressing global challenges related to energy security, decarbonization, and sustainable development.
The aim of this Special Issue is to highlight recent scientific and technological advances in energy engineering through the convergence of bioelectrochemical systems, bioenergy technologies, mechanical engineering approaches, building energy science, and photovoltaic systems. The scope of the Special Issue covers system design, modeling, optimization, performance evaluation, and real-world applications of integrated energy systems. Sustainable built environments and green buildings are considered as relevant application and validation contexts for these technologies.
Suggested themes for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to:
· Bioelectrochemical systems for energy generation and recovery
· Integration of photovoltaic systems with bioenergy technologies
· Mechanical and thermal optimization of hybrid energy systems
· Environmental biotechnology for sustainable energy applications
· Modeling and simulation of integrated energy systems
· Energy performance assessments of buildings and built environments
· Techno-economic and life cycle assessments of advanced energy technologies
