Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the last two decades, high penetration of renewable sources in distribution networks has occurred. In parallel with this process, electricity consumers are increasingly opting for the installation of micro renewable sources, thereby changing their status from passive to active consumers, so-called prosumers. Prosumers can also own electric vehicles and/or energy storage that provide additional flexibility and load management. The increasing number of prosumers presents additional challenges for energy management both from the standpoint of the individual prosumer (optimal sizing and device selections, maximizing prosumers’ profit from electricity trade, etc.) as well as from the standpoint of the electricity market and the distribution network operation (protection of distribution network, power quality problems, etc.).
As Guest Editors, we are pleased to invite you to submit your relevant research results to be considered for publication in this Special Issue of Energies on “Energy Management in Prosumer-Rich Distribution Networks”.
Topics to be addressed in this Special Issue include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Optimal sizing and device selection of prosumers;
- Optimizing prosumers’ profit in the electricity market environment;
- Electricity market models and architecture in the prosumer-rich distribution network;
- Impact of prosumers on power quality;
- Load management in the prosumer-rich distribution network;
- Integration of electric vehicle and energy storage in the prosumer-rich distribution network;
- Protection coordination in the prosumer-rich distribution network.
