Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The growing propagation of the microgrids and their remarkable effects on operating the smart grid is developing a sustained environment to drift away from the traditional frameworks. Therefore, tending to microgrid systems to increase their range of benefits can play a significant role in outlining an effective negotiation framework for the microgrids connected to the smart grid.
In recent years, many research and development projects have been performed to design energy transactions, economic models, and implement local control platforms for manufacturers, consumers, and microgrids. Furthermore, attention to peer-to-peer constructions for energy exchanges and management has grown significantly, with many startups from research and development projects emerging to explore energy trading with a focus on trading surplus energy in a way that allows producers–consumers to exchange surplus energy with their neighbors and on supplying energy in such a way that producers–consumers can directly produce locally renewable products.
This Special Issue aims to serve as a platform for energy researchers to present appropriate negotiation structures to maximize the benefits of microgrids connected to the smart grid and contribute to the derivation of sustainable future energy systems. In addition to modern techniques to deal with uncertainty parameters incorporating the microgrid and smart grid, this Special Issue will also look at multilateral economic distribution frameworks that need to be implemented easily and efficiently without the need for a central agent with a limited exchange of information, which consists of the amount and price of energy exchange. Special attention will be given to studies on emerging technologies, such as machine learning and artificial intelligence, etc., for solving emergent challenges on renewable energy integration to smart grid, uncertainty-aware peer-to-peer energy management, and mitigating smart grid vulnerability against faults and cyberattacks.

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. Sustainability is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
