Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The integration of new advanced technologies into smart energy systems and grids requires a multi-dimensional understanding of and approach to energy demand, energy resources, infrastructure operation, security, and cost issues. These technical, economic and, not least, environment-related challenges need to be addressed in a new complex way at both the theoretical and practical levels. The finding of tangible solutions represents a quest for academia, industry, and society in general, implying exploration and development in searching for technologies beyond the currently known horizons.
New ideas and findings in smart grid-related fields could offer the opportunity to enhance, optimize, and increase energy availability and usage. Namely, these include the optimal and safe usage of available energy resources, efficient energy conversion control solutions, and the power system integration of distributed resources by assuring power quality, security, and an environment-neutral impact for long term and sustainable development.
This Special Issue aims to highlight novel, innovative, and cutting-edge research to address current and future smart grid development and operation.
