Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Microgrids are small scale energy grids that can operate independently or autonomously from the main energy grid. They can contain generation, storage and consumption of any form of energy, including electricity, heat, etc. The concept supposed to eliminate or reduce the use of energy transmission systems, to produce energy near to consumption points, thus, constituting small distribution systems. This new energy paradigm is changing the way we conceive electrical, thermal, gas, or water grids. This Special Issue includes, but is not limited, to the following topics:
- AC, DC and AC-DC hybrid microgrids
- Power electronics based microgrids
- Small scale renewable energies and storages for microgrids
- Micro CHP systems for microgrids
- Multiple microgrid clusters
- Microgrids and nanogrids for rural areas and under developing countries
- Microgrids for all/hybrid electrical ships and green ports
- Microgrids for electrical vehicle charging stations
- Advanced control techniques for microgrids
- Smart metering and power quality for microgrids
- Internet of things and energy Internet for multiple microgrids
- Reviews on the state-of-the-art in the area of microgrids

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. Inventions is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1800 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
