Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue welcomes submissions that address the technical, business, or policy implications of integrating microgrids and renewable energy into the electric grid. As a matter of global interest, the increasing proliferation of distributed energy resources is creating changes in the energy industry that will continue to affect academia, electric utilities, technology vendors, and government for the next 20–30 years. Greater focus is needed for studies that demonstrate how fundamental science and applied research draw a clear connection to addressing the challenges of integrating microgrids and renewable energy at scale. Case studies are also encouraged that describe the complex regulatory, financial, and technical landscape to help researchers craft more needs-driven opportunities for scientific intervention. This cross-disciplinary Special Issue welcomes a breadth of topics and is keenly interested in studies that have some element of a transdisciplinary nature. Approaches to addressing workforce requirements for the growing profession will also be considered for publication.
