Innovative Techniques for Smart Grids
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
We would like to invite submissions to this Topic on the subject of Smart Grids and Microgrids entitled “Innovative Techniques for Smart Grids”.
Due to environment concerns, energy security risks, and fossil fuel problems, many countries around the world have decided to increase the penetration level of renewable energy resources (RERs) in their energy networks. In addition to this, many countries are moving toward implementation of the smart grid concept including microgrid and deregulation in their power systems to achieve reliable and secure operation of their power systems with high penetration level of renewable energy resources. This Topic focuses on providing the latest innovative techniques for enhancing the planning, operation, control and stability in modern and future smart grids and microgrids.
The topics include but are not limited to:
• Smart grids and microgrids;
• The design, modeling, and management of smart grids and microgrids;
• Smart grid and microgrid reliability, sustainability, flexibility, and resiliency;
• Smart grid and microgrid dynamics, stability, protection and security;
• Methodologies and applications of modern methods for the operation and control of smart grids;
• Intelligent systems, solving methods, optimization, and advanced heuristics;
• The modeling, planning, and operating of renewable energy resources;
• Business models for different electricity market players;
• Demand side management and demand response;
• The sizing, placement, and operation of energy storage systems and electric vehicles;
• Smart homes and building energy management;
• Electricity market, electrical power, and energy systems;
• The modeling, forecasting, and management of uncertainty in smart grids;
• Microgrids and islanded networks;
• Smart cities, smart energy, and IoT;
• Modern power systems and renewable energy resources.

Preprints.org is a multidisciplinary platform offering a preprint service designed to facilitate the early sharing of your research. It supports and empowers your research journey from the very beginning.
MDPI Topics is collaborating with Preprints.org and has established a direct connection between MDPI journals and the platform. Authors are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity by posting their preprints at Preprints.org prior to publication:
i. Share your research immediately: disseminate your ideas prior to publication and establish priority for your work.
ii. Safeguard your intellectual contribution: Protect your ideas with a time-stamped preprint that serves as proof of your research timeline.
iii. Boost visibility and impact: Increase the reach and influence of your research by making it accessible to a global audience.
iv. Gain early feedback: Receive valuable input and insights from peers before submitting to a journal.
v. Ensure broad indexing: Web of Science (Preprint Citation Index), Google Scholar, Crossref, SHARE, PrePubMed, Scilit and Europe PMC.
