Smart Grid and Control System for Higher Resilience and Reliability

Dear Colleagues,

Interruptions to the supply of electric power from power systems due to occurrence of typhoons and storms and floods have increased in recent years. Power outages are not only disruptive to daily life but, in the worst-case scenario, can even lead to loss of life. This Special Issue invites research on attempts to maintain supply of electric power and thermal energy using microgrids in the context of various disaster conditions. In order for a continuous power supply to be secured and energy management systems to be maintained for several days, solar power generation and wind power generation can be used. However, it is necessary to introduce optimum energy management methods in critical cases. In addition, electric vehicles are particularly useful transportation tools in certain disaster conditions, and the storage batteries of electric vehicles can also be used to supply electricity. This Special Issue invites researchers in the fields of power control and management, renewable power distribution, and power quality measurement and control to submit their quality research works for publication. The Special Issue includes but is not limited the following topics:

• Micro grid
• Power system
• Renewable energy
• Resilience of power supply
• Electric vehicle
• Smart house/building
