Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The smart grid has become ever-important for resolving problems in energy management, pollution reduction, etc. Smart grid optimization focuses on improving electrical power network efficiency, reliability, and sustainability by integrating distributed energy resources, energy storage systems, and advanced technology devices. Smart grids go hand in hand with control strategies, analytical data, and optimization algorithms to operate adequately.

This Special Issue welcomes review papers, original research, and case studies on smart grid optimization and sustainable power system management. In addition, we will accept papers focused on the optimal integration of distributed energy resources, the optimal operation of energy management systems, demand response management, cybersecurity, and integration of the Internet of Things in grid planning, operation, monitoring, and control.

For this Special Issue, we expect contributions in the following research areas:

  1. Distribution system planning.
  2. Renewable energy resources.
  3. Distribution grids and microgrids.
  4. Energy management in smart grids.
  5. Power system operation and control.
  6. The analysis of uncertainties in renewables.
  7. The control of power converters for renewable energy integration.
  8. Energy storage systems.
  9. Energy markets with high penetration of distributed energy resources.
  10. The efficient integration of renewable energy in power systems.
  11. Convex and combinatorial optimization methods for power grids.
  12. Alternating and direct current networks.
  13. Electric vehicle applications.
  14. Trends in renewable and energy storage systems.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

The techno–environmental analysis of distributed energy resources in electrical distribution networks is a complex optimization task due to the non-convexities of its nonlinear programming formulation. This research employs convex optimization to address this issue while minimizing the expected carbon dioxide emissions and daily energy losses of a distribution grid via the optimal dispatch of battery energy storage units (BESUs) and renewable energy units (REUs). The exact non-convex model is approximated via semi-definite programming in the complex variable domain. The optimal Pareto front is constructed using a weighting-based optimization approach. Numerical results using an IEEE 69-bus grid confirm the effectiveness of our proposal when considering unitary and variable power factor operation for the BESUs and the REUs. All numerical simulations were carried out using MATLAB software (version 2022b), a convex disciplined tool (CVX), and the semi-definite programming solvers SEDEUMI and SDPT3. Full article

The limited resources and enormous amounts of data generated by multimedia sensors require efficient strategies to extend network lifetime while taking into account quality-of-service requirements such as reliability and delay. In contrast, limited battery resources require new techniques to balance energy consumption and multimedia application requirements in wireless multimedia sensor networks (WMSNs). These requirements are very critical, especially for network stability and performance. In this paper, an energy-efficient mechanism based on the M/D/1/B queueing model is proposed. According to the packets in the queue and the waiting time, the nodes decide their activation time, so the nodes wake up for a while to transmit the data in the queue and then go to sleep mode. The simulation results of the proposed algorithm show that the proposed mechanism achieves optimal values to reduce energy consumption while meeting the quality-of-service requirements under different conditions.
