Future Smart Grid Systems
This special issue belongs to the section "A1: Smart Grids and Microgrids".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Smart grids are electrical grids that include a variety of interoperable communication and control devices, which optimally facilitate the production and distribution of electricity. Smart grids allow better integration of renewable energy sources, flexible transmission resources, energy storage devices, electric vehicles, microgrids and controllable loads; they are seen as key enablers in the decarbonisation of both industry and society. This Special Issue focuses on the analysis, design and implementation of future smart grid systems. Submissions are invited from researchers and practitioners working in related areas, and to promote a venue for cutting-edge fundamental and applied research related to future smart grid.
