Advanced Modeling and Research in Hybrid Microgrid Control and Optimization

Dear Colleagues,

Generation of distributed electricity using micro- and nanogrids is an obvious opportunity to reduce CO2 emissions if hydrogen energy technology is used in addition to renewable energy potential. It is expected that these hybrid microgrids will play an important role in the implementation of the scenario of limiting global warming to 20 °C by replacing fossil fuels with renewables. Thus, to highlight the latest solutions and paradigms in hybrid microgrid, such as vehicle-to-building (V2B), vehicle-to-grid (V2G), power-following and grid-responsive strategies, and Global Optimization (GO)-based fuel economy, this Special Issue, entitled “Advanced Modeling and Research in Hybrid Microgrid Control and Optimization”, has been proposed for Mathematics MDPI, which is an international peer-reviewed open access journal covered by many databases such as WOS (SCIE Impact Factor 1.105 (2018), Q1) and SCOPUS (Elsevier). The present Special Issue aims to collect innovative solutions and experimental research supported by appropriate modeling and design, but also state-of-the-art studies, in the following topics:

• Hybrid nano- and microgrids
• Hybrid power systems (HPSs);
• Renewable energy sources (RESs);
• Fuel cell (FC) systems;
• Hybrid energy storage systems (HESSs);
• Energy management and optimization strategies;
• Smart contracts based on IoT blockchain technology;
• Cybersecurity, reliability, maintenance, resilience, and safety in operation of FC RES hybrid microgrids.

Papers received will be subject to a rigorous, but fast, peer review procedure, and the wide dissemination of research results accepted for this Special Issue is ensured. I am writing to invite you to submit your original work to this Special Issue. I look forward to receiving your outstanding research outcomes.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
