Special Issue Information
Dear colleagues,
Significant changes are occurring in electric power systems. The deregulation of the energy market allowed a variety of participants to buy and sell electricity. Massive and unplanned penetration of generation units and new loads/prosumers connected to both medium and low voltage levels is ongoing. Traditional monitoring, management, and protection schemes will no longer be suitable for modern grids. These require new solutions for the appropriate management and control of the electric infrastructure, dynamically facing challenging operating conditions.
The challenges the new distributed measurement system must face are countless. Innovative solutions for measurement data collection, processing, communication, storage, access, and handling are expected. In recent decades, academic and industrial research projects have been relentlessly carried out looking at the next generation of electric grids. For example, it is possible to highlight how research is pushing to extend the benefits of synchronized measurements to distribution networks, for the evaluation of the quantities of interest, like power quality indexes, in PMU-like devices.
This Special Issue will present concepts, algorithms, technologies, and applications that will help distributed measurement systems contribute to the realization of smart grid scenarios.
More specifically, topics of interest for this Special Issue include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Distributed measurement architectures for monitoring, management, and protection
- Synchronized measurements and applications
- Power quality monitoring
- Advanced metering infrastructures
- Smart metering
- Meter placement
- Management of distributed energy resources, energy storage systems, and islanding
- Information and communication technologies for smart grids applications
- Integration of SCADA/EMS tools
- Demand-side management
- Cloud-based solutions
