Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We invite submissions to a Special Issue of Energies centered around the advanced approaches, theoretical models, market models, AI applications, and novel techniques used for the operation and control of smart grids. This power system should be renovated to fulfill social and industrial requests and economic advances. Hence, providing economic, reliable, green, low-carbon, and sustainable energy is a key goal of advanced societies. In order to meet these goals, recent features of smart grid technologies need to have the ability to improve reliability, flexibility, efficiency, and resilience. This Special Issue aims to encourage researchers to address the mentioned challenges.

Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • The structural system and design concept of smart grids;
  • System reliability, sustainability, flexibility, and resilience;
  • The modeling, planning, and operation of renewable energy resources;
  • Multi-energy complementation;
  • Low-carbon operation and schedule;
  • The intelligent management of EV charging;
  • Smart power consumption, demand side management, and demand response;
  • AI methodologies and applications for the operation and control of smart grids;
  • Business models for different electricity market players;
  • The sizing, placement, and operation of energy storage systems;
  • Smart homes and building energy management;
  • Electricity market, electrical power, and energy systems;
  • The forecasting and schedule of uncertainty in smart grids;
  • Microgrids and microgrid groups.
