Smart Grid and Sustainable Energy Integration Technology

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, our understanding of energy management has been revolutionized by the integration of renewable energy sources, advancements in energy storage systems, and the intelligent utilization of data. This Special Issue serves as a beacon for pioneering research in this field, welcoming contributions that delve into diverse aspects of smart grids and sustainable energy integration. From the intricate complexities of grid modernization strategies to the profound impact of human behaviour on energy consumption patterns, we invite you to explore, challenge, and redefine the boundaries of what we know about energy systems.

This Special Issue is all about the latest breakthroughs in smart grid and sustainable energy integration systems. From using renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power to storing energy more efficiently, and even understanding how people use energy in their daily lives, we want to explore it all. We believe that by coming together and sharing our knowledge, we can find innovative solutions to the energy challenges we face.

We invite you to be part of this journey. Your contributions, whether they are new ideas, research findings, or practical solutions, can make a real difference. By working together, we can create a future where our energy is not only smarter but is also more sustainable.

The main topics of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Grid modernization strategies;
• Renewable energy integration;
• Energy storage systems;
• Demand response and load management;
• Grid cybersecurity;
• Distributed energy resources;
• AC/DC microgrid systems;
