Smart Grid Energy Management: Advancing Sustainability and Cybersecurity

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue, "Smart Grid Energy Management: Advancing Sustainability and Cybersecurity," seeks to explore cutting-edge strategies for enhancing the sustainability and security of smart grids.

As renewable energy, digital technologies, and decentralized energy markets become more intertwined, smart energy management systems (EMSs) become indispensable for maximizing resource efficiency while preserving grid security and stability.

Advanced subjects include blockchain for decentralized energy transactions, smart grid cybersecurity, and forecasting powered by artificial intelligence, and energy system optimization strategies will also be covered. By demonstrating how cutting-edge technology may address socioeconomic and environmental issues connected to sustainable energy consumption, the goal is to close gaps in the literature.

We invite submissions that present novel frameworks, models, and case studies that push the boundaries of current research, contributing to more sustainable and secure energy infrastructures.
