Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
For the past few years, research and development at the academic, industry, business and government levels has been devoted to making the power grid smarter as envisaged, to be the next generation electric grid for smart cities. This will enable the smart integration of conventional power generation, renewable generation, distributed generation, energy storage, transmission, distribution and demand management. However, all these prospective transformations also bring with them numerous challenges and opportunities.
