Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Smart grids, still being the future perspective of electric distribution grids, are also the real and actual implementation of the evolution of these grids. There are many factors that foster this realization and the enabling technologies play a fundamental role in this process. The fields in which these technologies can be applied are widespread and the ways in which they are deployed define the actual instance of the smart grid concept. The targeted objectives are directly related to the improvement of the energy usage (e.g., sustainability, efficiency, reliability, and quality of service) or to a smarter management of the grids by distribution system operators (e.g., maintenance, reconfiguration, and workforce management). Some of the examples of these technologies are the smart meters, energy storage devices, including electric vehicles, together with the algorithm used to manage them, the communication systems and their usage to control the players in the grids, IoT and artificial intelligence applications. In this context, regulatory and economic issues should be considered, and suitably addressed.
Our aim is to bring together scientists and researchers to publish their experimental and advanced research results on the application on smart grid technologies.

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. Clean Technologies is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. Free publication for well-prepared manuscripts submitted before 31 December 2019. 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.
