Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Guest Editor is inviting submissions to a Special Issue of Energies on the subject area of “Fuzzy Logic-Based Energy Management Systems for Residential Grid-Connected Microgrids”. The governmental policies recently put in place for progressive energy decarbonization have led to expected growth of grid-connected residential microgrids, including renewable energy sources. Fuzzy logic control (FLC) can efficiently help the design of microgrids energy management systems (EMS) since it can easily include human knowledge of the control policies leading to the desired microgrid behavior when stochastic power variations and load uncertainties are taken into account. The design of such fuzzy-based EMS is strongly dependent on the particular energy scenarios of microgrids (namely, on the generation, storage, and consumption elements of the microgrid) and mainly encompasses interesting research topics such as the rule base definition, controller complexity (number of rules), and controller parameters adjustment techniques.
This Special Issue will deal with novel Fuzzy Logic-Based Energy Management Systems in Residential Grid-Connected Microgrids, and, thus, different energy scenarios can be considered in this framework. Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to the following:
- FLC for the management of hybrid energy storage systems
- FLC for demand-side management and demand response techniques
- FLC for grid power quality improvement
- FLC for resilient microgrids
- FLC for collaborative microgrids management
- FLC parameters adjustment techniques

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.
