Feature Papers in Smart Grids and Microgrids

Dear Colleagues,

Today, with growing concerns about the environmental effects of electricity generation, the concepts of microgrids and smart grids have received considerable attention in both the industrial and academic communities. Therefore, this Special Issue aims to cover most of the topics involved in the efficient and reliable operation of these systems, such as generation, transmission and distribution, energy storage and load management, smart operation and automated control, communication and cybersecurity, stability, reliability and resiliency, smart metering, monitoring and power quality, IoT integration, regulatory framework influence, and electric vehicle integration.

To deal with these challenges, this Special Issue is addressed to scholars with high academic influence, who are kindly invited to present new contributions, studies, and comments on recently published advances, and reviews in the area of smart grids and microgrids.
