Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recently, there is an increasing demand for the transition from fossil fuel-based centralized power systems to low-carbon, renewable-based decentralized power systems. The additional intelligent functionality on Micro-Grids (MGs), enabling real-time information exchanges and energy flows between consumers and grids categorized a Smart Micro-Grids (SMGs). The SMGs are a newer technology and an extension to the regular MGs. Many intelligent management and control methods of SMGs have been developed and introduced to enhance their reliability, quality, and cost-effectiveness. This Special Issue will feature the latest scientific, technical, and economic developments of innovative SMGs for power systems.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but not limited to) the following:
- Current state of smart Micro-Grids in the world;
- A success story or field test result of smart Micro-Grids;
- Review of smart Micro-Grids;
- Intelligent control of energy conversion of converter/inverter;
- AI application for energy management systems of smart Micro-Grids;
- Cost-effective and optimized design techniques for smart Micro-Grids;
- Optimization of distribution networks with DG/RES/smart Micro-Grids;
- Modelling and simulation of renewable energy resources;
- Modelling and AI optimization of energy storage system;
- Modelling and optimization of EV/EV charger;
- Information exchange between smart Micro-Grids and power system;
- Intelligent demand and supply forecasting techniques;
Technical, regulatory, and market policies for smart Micro-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. 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.
