Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The integration of renewable energy sources into existing power systems is becoming increasingly important due to the global shift towards more sustainable and environmentally friendly sources of energy. The concept of microgrids, or localized energy systems, is gaining popularity as a solution for integrating renewable energy sources, particularly in remote or off-grid areas. However, in order for this to be successful, there are also numerous challenges that must be addressed.
This Special Issue covers a range of topics exploring the opportunities and challenges associated with the integration of renewable energy sources into microgrids, including but not limited to energy storage technologies, control and management strategies, economic and financial considerations, policy and regulatory frameworks, and case studies of successful microgrid implementations.
The aim of this Special Issue is to provide a platform for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to share their knowledge and experience related to renewable energy integration and microgrids. The ultimate goal is to advance our understanding of the opportunities and challenges associated with these emerging technologies and to provide insights into best practices for their successful implementation.
