Editorial Board Members’ Collection Series: Smart Energy Systems Design

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce this collection, entitled “Editorial Board Members' Collection Series: Smart Energy Systems Design”. This issue will be a collection of papers written by researchers who have been invited by the Editorial Board Members.

Smart energy systems that integrate multiple energy sectors are considered a promising paradigm for providing a comprehensive and optimized solution for an achievable, affordable, and sustainable energy system in the near future. Although extensive studies on the definition, implementation and optimization of these systems have been conducted, the design and management of a smart energy system remains a critical challenge. Thus, this collection aims to bring together the most recent research on a variety of exciting topics such as (but not limited to):

• Control and operation of modern power grids;
• Renewable energy power generation connected to the grid–microgrid;
• Energy harvesting and wireless power transfer technologies;
• Electronic equipment related to energy systems;
• Energy storage and electic vehicles;
• Big data and artificial intelligence.
