Advanced Technologies in Integration of Distributed Energy Resources

Dear Colleagues,

Facing twin worldwide energy crises—global warming and climate change—the integration of and increase in distributed energy resource (DER) utilization based on renewable energy will play a significant role in helping conventional power plants to meet growing energy demand and allowing countries to pursue sustainable development with a secure transition.

With the fast development of advanced technologies in DER, the microgrid segment is growing very quickly. This technology not only allows for the modernization of the electrical grid and provides bidirectional power flow throughout the grid, but also enables power to be supplied to isolated sites.

The main objective of this Special Issue is to provide researchers and industrial entities interested in smart grid communities with the opportunity to present their research in the fields of power electronics, advanced digital control, power management and energy management systems, with an emphasis on recent trends. We are also keen to circulate knowledge related to energy markets based on the forecasting of renewable energy resources, the grid integration of electric vehicles, and real-time simulations.

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. Electronics 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 2400 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.
