Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce this Special Issue on Internet of Things for Smart Grid (IoTForSG). A smart grid is a fully automated intelligent energy delivery network fully embracing digital technology that allows for two-way communication between the utility and its customers. It employs innovative products and services together with intelligent monitoring, control, communication, and self-healing technologies in order to provide secure, efficient and reliable delivery of electricity and exchange of information between power generators, utility companies and consumers of the electric power. IoT solutions offer huge potential in addressing the challenges involved in creating a smart grid by enabling smart communications, monitoring, analytics, and automation control.

The aim of this issue is to bring together comprehensive reviews and original research articles that focus primarily on IoT research innovations and technologies to illustrate and address the challenges involved in the design and implementation of a smart grid which include integrated communications, smart sensing and measurement, and smart automation to enable improved reliability, network connectivity, efficiency, adaptivity, security, cost-effectiveness and sustainability of smart grid.

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. Energies 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 2600 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.

The Internet has been going through significant transformations and changing the world around us. We can also see the Internet to be used in many areas, for innumerable purposes, and, currently, it is even used by objects. This evolution leads to the Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm. This new concept can be defined as a system composed of storage resources, sensor devices, controllers, applications, and network infrastructure, in order to provide specific services to its users. Since IoT comprises heterogeneous components, the creation of these systems, the communication, and maintenance of their components became a complex task. In this paper, we present a dependability model to evaluate an IoT system. Amid different systems, we chose to assess availability in a smart building. The proposed models allow us to calculate estimations of other measures besides steady-state availability, such as reliability. Thus, it was possible to notice that there was no considerable gain of availability in the system when applying grid-tie solar power or off-grid solar power. The grid-tie solar power system is cheaper than the off-grid solar power system, even though it produces more energy. However, in our research, we were able to observe that the off-grid solar power system recovers the applied financial investment in smaller interval of time. Full article
