Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The smart grid is an electrical grid enabling a two-way flow of electricity and data. It includes various operation and energy measures such as advanced metering infrastructure, smart distribution boards, renewable energy resources, and energy-efficient resources. Although the increased use of digital information, development and incorporation of flexible resources, integration of smart appliances, and deployment of smart technologies create opportunities to improve the reliability, efficiency, and security of the electric grid, they also pose challenges and inherent vulnerabilities. Future smart grids will require totally new planning and operation principles, as well as novel control and protection solutions. Enabling advanced forecasts; new technologies for sensing, modeling, and automation; and novel methods for estimation, optimization, and control will have a major role in new resilient smart-grid technologies and architectures.
The main goal of this Special Issue is to pay special attention to advances in smart grids and bring engineers, researchers, and scientists together on a common platform to demonstrate novel research contributions in all aspects of technologies of relevance to smart grids. Topics of interest may include, but are not limited to, the following:
- enabling technologies and equipment in smart grids;
- advanced control and operation methods to improve power system flexibility;
- optimal planning and operation of renewable integrated energy systems;
- advanced metering in smart grids;
- cyber–physical systems and their security;
- artificial intelligence and its application in smart grids;
- overview of the recent advances in smart grids.

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. Sensors 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 2600 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.
