Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The sudden spread of the COVID-19 virus has forced most countries to embrace drastic measures including the shutdown of industrial and commercial activities and the enforcement of lockdown and home isolation for most of the world’s citizens.
This Special Issue aims to present a collection of articles that explore not only the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on energy systems and markets, but also discuss the engineering solutions that have allowed our society to adapt resiliently to the sudden changes. ICT technologies have allowed us to maintain human interactions and perform vital activities, such as the communication of information, public administration, and education through smart-working and e-learning, by leaning on the backbone of critical infrastructures such as power and communication networks.
With the social and economic repercussions that will be made clear to us only in the coming months, the unceasing shock of recent events has compelled us to rethink the role of electrical engineering in modern society.
