Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In response to the dynamic landscape of renewable energy integration and the evolving role of emerging technologies in reshaping electric power systems, we are pleased to announce a Special Issue dedicated to the theme of “Distribution Renewable Energy Integration and Grid Modernization.” This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive platform for researchers, practitioners, and industry experts to present and discuss cutting-edge research, innovations, and practical applications in the field.
The Special Issue will encompass a wide spectrum of topics within the realm of renewable energy integration into transmission and distribution grids, with a focus on addressing challenges and harnessing opportunities for a more sustainable and efficient energy ecosystem. Submissions are encouraged to explore various facets, including the integration of distributed energy resources (DERs) such as solar and wind power, the role of electric vehicles (EVs) in demand response and grid support, and the advancements in advanced distribution management system (ADMS) applications and distributed energy resource management system (DERMS) applications for enhanced grid operations.
Authors are encouraged to submit original research articles, review papers, case studies, and innovative applications that shed light on the interdisciplinary nature of these topics. We seek to promote the exchange of ideas and insights that will pave the way for sustainable energy integration and grid management. The Special Issue will serve as a valuable resource for academics, professionals, and policymakers striving to navigate the complexities of modern energy systems. This Special Issue of Inventions will include (but is not limited to) the following topics of interest:
- Distribution and grid edge planning and operations;
- Advanced distribution management system (ADMS) applications: distribution state estimation, Volt/VAR optimization, fault location, isolation, and service restoration (FLISR);
- Distributed energy resource management systems (DERMS): behind-the-meter DER management, demand response, voltage support, peak demand management, DER flexibility;
- DER aggregation for ancillary service provision and virtual power plant (VPP) controls;
- Sensor data analytics and applications in distribution operations;
- Integrated transmission and distribution planning;
- Grid integration of electric vehicles (EVs), EV charging infrastructure planning, and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) operation;
- Battery energy storage system (BESS) applications in grid operations;
- Cybersecurity in distributed energy resource (DER) communications.

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. Inventions 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 1800 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.
