Sustainable Microgrid Systems: Technologies, Applications and Trends

Dear Colleagues,

Microgrids are being researched more and more as a possible method of overcoming the limitations of access to energy. Because of their numerous benefits relating to flexibility, efficiency, and reliability, these microgrids may hold the key to ensuring universal access to energy. A novel idea to deliver a dependable power supply for future electricity grids is a sustainable microgrid that is mainly supplied by renewable energy sources. The components of a sustainable microgrid system are renewable energy systems and storage units that are all connected to the main grid. Moreover, the environmental risk posed by carbon emissions and the reliance on fossil fuels can both be reduced by using renewable energy sources. Additionally, it can improve the microgrid's dynamic behavior and reliability.

This Special Issue on "Sustainable Microgrid Systems: Technologies, Applications, and Trends" seeks to investigate the sustainable microgrid, implement smart control strategies to improve microgrid performance, and assist renewable energy systems in operating in both grid-connected and islanding modes. Moreover, detect and mitigate new risks like cyber-attacks. Topics include, but are not limited to:

• Enhancement of microgrid performance;
• Future microgrid control strategies;
• Cyber-attack detection and mitigation in microgrids;
• Sustainable microgrid operation;
• Optimization techniques to enhance microgrid operation;
• Management of a sustainable microgrid.
