Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The transition towards smarter and more resilient energy systems has ushered in a new era of technological advancements in the field of smart grids, and this Special Issue, entitled “Intelligent Sensing Solutions Enhancing Smart Grid Technologies,” aims to explore the innovative sensing solutions that are pivotal to optimizing the performance, reliability, and sustainability of smart grid systems.
As the global demand for energy continues to rise, the integration of intelligent sensing technologies is critical for achieving efficient energy management, real-time monitoring, and predictive analytics in smart grids. This Special Issue will highlight cutting-edge research and applications that leverage advanced sensing techniques, also including the Internet of Things (IoT) devices, machine learning algorithms, and data analytics to enhance grid monitoring, fault detection, and energy distribution.
We invite contributions that cover a wide range of topics including, but not limited to:
- Novel sensor technologies and their deployment in smart grid infrastructure;
- Data fusion and analytics techniques for real-time decision-making;
- Cybersecurity measures for protecting sensing networks in smart grids;
- Case studies demonstrating the impact of intelligent sensing on grid efficiency and resilience;
- The integration of renewable energy sources and electric vehicles through advanced sensing solutions;
- The regulatory and policy implications of adopting intelligent sensing technologies in smart grids.
By bringing together leading researchers, practitioners, and industry experts, this Special Issue aims to foster collaborative discussions and knowledge sharing that will propel the development of innovative solutions in smart grid technologies. We invite contributions of research articles or reviews that offer theoretical insights, empirical studies, and practical applications illustrating the revolutionary potential of intelligent sensing.
This Special Issue represents a crucial resource for researchers, industry professionals, and policymakers, offering evidence-based strategies for harnessing intelligent sensing technologies to improve smart grid capabilities and advance sustainable energy initiatives. By fostering collaboration and innovation, the integration of intelligent sensing systems has the potential to drive a more sustainable energy future.
