Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The concept of "microgrids" is the object of several research efforts by universities and industry, investigating the various aspects of management, monitoring, control, conversion, and communication, at the component and grid level. Moreover, microgrids involve regulatory issues and integration in electric energy systems, giving rise to new subjects, in charge of exchanging a variety of information with market and system operators, as well as with analogous entities. The diffusion of this paradigm is bolstered by test-beds, operation experiences, and actual applications.
This Special Issue of Energies on the subject area "Academic and Industrial Research Experience for Experimental Microgrids" is aimed at collecting papers addressing implementation aspects arising from design and running microgrid systems, developed at the laboratory level or for real use cases. Works dealing with field tests or proving the validity of strategies and policies are of interest as well.
A non-exhaustive list of the possible topics is reported below:
- Development of devices for microgrid integration
- Microgrid operation planning and real time control in laboratory/actual applications
- DC microgrids in laboratory/actual applications
- Mutual interaction of microgrids
- Microgrid impact on distribution networks and ancillary services
- Influence of microgrid paradigm evolution on power transmission network planning
We are looking forward to receiving your valuable contributions.

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.
