Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid changes in generation combined with the increased load growth have introduced new complexities in traditional power system networks. The advancement of information and communication technologies as well as the innovation of intelligent devices enable better controllability and coordination of power system networks. Thus, traditional power grids are undergoing significant changes toward their inevitable transformation to smart power grids. In addition, the advancement of distributed generation technologies allows consumers to take up the role of prosumers and meet local energy demand with local generation. As a result, there has been a massive growth in microgrid technologies, which can be considered miniature versions of the traditional power grid. The reliable and efficient operation of microgrids very often depends on how effectively the challenges associated with renewable energy sources, energy management, and intelligent communication technologies are defined. In this Special Issue, advances in smart grid and microgrid will be explored from different perspectives. The potential topics suitable for this Special Issue include:
- Peer-to-peer energy trading in microgrids;
- Transactive energy;
- Microgrid operation;
- Microgrids and battery energy storages;
- Energy management in microgrids;
- Modeling of local energy markets in microgrids;
- Power-sharing strategies for both individual and multiple microgrids;
- Applications of the IoT in microgrids;
- Smart grid communications;
- Information and communication infrastructure for microgrids;
- Open energy-sharing platforms;
- Cybersecurity for IoT-enabled microgrid.

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