Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Microgrids and smart grids combine several technologies and scientific fields. The configuration of such a system is different from a conventional production system.
The focus of this Special Issue is on the challenges faced and advantages offered by the seemingly inevitable shift from the existing traditional supply–demand model (characterized by centralized remote bulk power generation, long transmission lines, unidirectional power flow at distribution level from the producer (grid) to consumer (customer), irresponsive loads, separate energy carriers, and the low penetration of renewable energy sources) to the new pattern (characterized by distributed generation close to the point of use, bidirectional power flow in distribution feeders, controllable/responsive loads such as plug-in electric vehicle chargers, thermal loads and air conditioning systems, integrated energy carriers, and the very high penetration of renewable energy sources).
This Special Issue is devoted to the various advanced real-time control methods intended for application alongside micro and smart grids. In addition, research targeting novel technologies, new configurations of hybrid micro grids (AC and DC), V2G technologies, new challenges and advanced controllers are welcome.

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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. Energies 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.
