Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Renewable energy-based microgrids are playing a vital role in reduction of energy transmission systems and to produce energy near to consumption points, thus constituting small distribution systems. These are small-scale energy grids that can operate independently or autonomously from the main energy grid. Mainly there are two types, i.e., DC microgrid and AC microgrid. Integration of renewable energy resources introduce numerous challenges to the legacy system are required to achieve affordability, resilience, sustainability, and prosperity. The interconnected microgrids also possess challenges in securing from cyber threats. This Special Issue will include papers related to the control and optimization of microgrids and their applications in industry, transportation, water, waste, and urban and residential infrastructures.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following aspects of microgrids.
- Community microgrids, microgrid clusters, nano-grids;
- Cybersecurity aspects in microgrids;
- Scheduling, selection, interconnected microgrids, and their interconnection with fuel cells, energy storage systems, other microgrids;
- Strategies for advanced control techniques, optimization, and protection;
- Technologies, strategies, and policies for more renewable energy penetration;
- DC, AC, and hybrid microgrids;
- Stability, observability, and resilience of microgrids;
- The IoT and energy internet for cluster grids;
- Penetration of electric vehicles charging stations;
- Space microgrids, ship microgrid, plane microgrids, and their control;
- Smart metering and power quality for microgrids;
- Reviews on the state of the art in the area of microgrids;
- Integration of renewable energy sources, such as wind, tidal, geothermal etc.;
- Energy sharing strategies, fault studies, energy optimization.
