Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue seeks to evaluate how renewable energy and storage can be incorporated alongside conventional generation in grid-connected or off-grid microgrids to meet critical loads at the lowest life cycle cost. This Special Issue welcomes research papers that would optimize system sizes as well as operating strategies to provide economic savings while grid-connected and to extend site survivability during outages. Finally, this Special Issue also welcomes papers that would quantify the resiliency impact of renewable energy and storage in energy systems.
In order to encourage scientists and researchers to present their progress in the above fields, we have organized this Special Issue to publish the latest research on, but not limited to, the following topics:
- The economic viability of grid-connected PV, wind, and battery storage;
- System size evaluation;
- Battery dispatch strategies to minimize energy costs;
- Critical loads during a grid outage evaluation.
Dr. Enrique Rosales-Asensio

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. Electronics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
