Recent Sensing Technologies and Applications in Smart Grids

Dear Colleagues,

Recently, there has been a rising interest in implementing the latest sensing technologies and applications in smart grids. Modern Smart Grid networks should be seen as an integral part of Smart City and Smart Region concepts with an emphasis on secure data transmission and processing, data evaluation and interaction. The new security and technological requirements connecting the world of ICT and ICS systems open a wide range of complex research areas, building on the current state of the art in sub-areas. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following research areas:

• Smart grids and smart sensors;
• Smart grid and cyber-physical systems;
• Smart grids and IoT technologies;
• Cyber-physical systems in energy applications;
• Smart grids and distributed renewable energy sources;
• Traffic models for smart grid and smart city applications;
• Vehicle-to-grid energy storage and smart sensors;
• Wireless sensor networks in smart grids;
• Methods in data analytics for enabling a data-driven smart grid;
• Security and privacy aspects concerning sensors in the smart grid.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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. Sensors 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.
