Energy Management Systems for Microgrids
This special issue belongs to the section "Power Electronics".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
A microgrid consists of a power distribution system operating at medium and low voltage with distributed energy sources. It can be connected to or disconnected from the main power system, and operates independently. As renewable energy sources expand, storage devices can be included, and in some cases flexible load control is possible. These energy management approaches for microgrids cover a broad spectrum of planning, operation, management, control, economic, environmental, and operational effect issues. Technical challenges associated with the operation and control of microgrids are broad. Problems with multiple microgrids include communication, time synchronization, zero inertia, etc. Smart ships can also be viewed as microgrids, and energy management in complex loads such as heat, electricity, and propulsion is leading to the reduction of CO2 emissions, improved power quality, and reduced energy supply costs. We invite the submission of high-quality manuscripts from engineers for publication in this Special Issue.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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-anonymized 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.
