Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The 6th International Conference on Smart Energy Grid Engineering (SEGE) (http://www.sege-conference.com/index.html) will take place at UOIT, Ontario, Canada, 12–15 August, 2018.

The SEGE conference aims at providing an opportunity to discuss various engineering challenges of smart energy grid design and operation by focusing on advanced methods and practices for designing different components and their integration within the grid. It also provides a forum for researchers from academia and professionals from industry, as well as government regulators, to tackle these challenges, and discuss and exchange knowledge and best practices about design and implementation of smart energy grids.

The Symposium on Plasma and Nuclear Systems (SPANS) (http://www.sege-conference.com/SPANS.html) is connected with SEGE, and will be held on 16 August, 2018.

SPANS is providing forum for researchers from academia and industry to present and discuss latest research innovations in nuclear and plasma systems. SPANS will provide attendees with state-of-the-art research and technologies and engage in active discussions with industry. Additionally, it will provide industry with opportunities to promote their products and business cases. Attendees from regulators and standards will engage in fruitful discussions on how R&D is linked with regulations and standards.

Authors of papers related to sensors presented at the conferences are invited to submit extended versions of their work to the Special Issue for publication.

You may choose our Joint Special Issue in Energies.

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. Sensors 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.

This paper primarily deals with the design of an Information and Control Technology (ICT) network for an advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) on the IEEE 34 node radial distribution network. The application is comprised of 330 smart meters deployed in the low voltage system and 33 data concentrators in the medium voltage system. A power line carrier (PLC) communication system design is developed and simulated in Network Simulator 3 (NS-3). The simulation result is validated by comparing the communication network performance with the minimum performance requirements for AMI. The network delay of a single data frame is calculated and compared with the simulation delay. The design methodology proposed in this article may be used for other smart grid applications. The secondary goal is to provide AMI network traffic based on the IEC Std. 61968 and a discussion on whether or not AMI could possibly be a source of big data on the future power grid. Full article
