Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Electric power-transmission and -distribution systems are undergoing a considerable transition toward Smart Grids, which are reliable and efficient networks to which distributed generation systems from renewable sources, smart and flexible loads, energy-storage systems, and electric vehicles are connected.
With the growing number of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs), power supply flexibility is also becoming more important. In order to utilize DERs to their fullest potential, advanced technologies and tools must be used for their management and optimization.
We welcome contributions of ideas and innovative solutions that could accelerate the implementation of technological solutions for the distributed conversion of energy from renewable sources, by deepening actions that will improve the robustmess of the national power grid and encouraging the full integration of green sources while maintaining the quality of service, adequacy, efficiency, resilience, and security of the power system.
This Special Issue calls for original research articles, reviews, and case studies on the theories, frameworks, mechanisms, regulations, and supporting technologies behind DERs. Topics include, but are not limited to:
- Distributed generation, renewable energy resources, Smart Grids, and microgrids.
- The impact of DER interconnection on the distribution network.
- Distributed generators and energy-storage system integration.
- Practical applications to foster the diffusion of Renewable Energy Source (RES)-based distributed generation.
- The integration and control of DERs.
- The design and implementation of future DER systems.
- Ancillary services under the highly variable penetration of RES-based distributed generation.
- Protection, resilience and safety for DERs.
- Power Electronics for DERs.
- Management and optimization methods for DERs.
- Decision-making strategies for distributed energy systems.
- The use of advanced automation, remote control and smart sensing.
- The coordination of DERs and electric vehicles.
- Projects, demonstrators, laboratories, and the use of hard-in-the-loop for testing smart distribution networks.

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. Electronics 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 2400 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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
