Advancement and Optimization of Demand Response in Smart Grids
This special issue belongs to the section “A1: Smart Grids and Microgrids“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The evolving energy systems of today require approaches to tackling the increasing number of challenges related to sustainability, efficiency and reliability. In this regard, we are excited to announce a call for papers for a Special Issue titled "Advancement and Optimization of Demand Response in Smart Grids". This collection will explore cutting-edge research and advances in the field, with the specific aim of enhancing the effectiveness of demand response mechanisms within grids.
We invite scholars, researchers and practitioners to contribute their insights and findings to this Special Issue. Submissions may cover a range of topics, including but not limited to:
- Algorithms for demand response optimization techniques;
- Integration of renewable energy sources;
- Application of artificial intelligence in improving demand response functionalities;
- Social policy aspects related to implementing demand response.
This Special Issue serves as a platform for sharing groundbreaking research that will help in developing and optimizing strategies for demand response. It aims to foster an understanding of how these strategies contribute towards building sustainable smart grids. We eagerly anticipate receiving high-quality submissions that will enrich the discussion surrounding the evolution of demand response in grid technology.
