Dear Colleagues,

Recent years has seen progressive urbanization and upgrading processes, along with the popularization of energy-intensive appliances, made intelligent via advanced information and communication technologies. Next-generation distribution systems encompass various innovative technologies, strategies, and concepts aimed at transforming traditional power distribution systems into more intelligent, efficient, and sustainable networks. Therefore, new planning, operation, and control strategies for next-generation distribution systems are becoming a pressing need.

In this Special Issue, articles on topics such as cyber–physical systems, AI-assisted decision-making, renewable energy integration, and next-generation distribution systems are of interest. This Special Issue intends to act as a forum for the dissemination of the latest research and developments in strategies for next-generation distribution systems in the context of “CO₂ peaking and neutrality”.
