This Special Issue presents extended versions of selected top papers of the Mediterranean Conference on Power Generation, Transmission, Distribution and Energy Conversion (MEDPOWER), held in Dubrovnik in 2018. The 11th Mediterranean Conference on Power Generation, Transmission, Distribution and Energy Conversion (MEDPOWER 2018) was held in Cavtat, Dubrobnik, Croatia, from 12 to 15 November 2018. The conference gathered more than 200 scientists, researchers, and experts from all around the world. A total of 147 oral presentations were held during the conference, with an additional 50 papers presented in special sessions. The top 10 papers have been selected for this Special Issue in Energies, covering a variety of topics from end-user challenges, distribution and transmission network operation and planning, to generation planning and modeling.

Geothermal energy is the thermal energy generated and stored in the Earth's core, mantle, and crust. Geothermal technologies are used to generate electricity and to heat and cool buildings. To develop accurate models for heat and mass transfer applications involving fluid flow in geothermal applications or reservoir engineering and petroleum industries, a basic knowledge of the rheological and transport properties of the materials involved (drilling fluid, rock properties, etc.)—especially in high-temperature and high-pressure environments—are needed. This Special Issue considers all aspects of fluid flow and heat transfer in geothermal applications, including the ground heat exchanger, conduction and convection in porous media. The emphasis here is on mathematical and computational aspects of fluid flow in conventional and unconventional reservoirs, geothermal engineering, fluid flow, and heat transfer in drilling engineering and enhanced oil recovery (hydraulic fracturing, CO2 injection, etc.) applications.
