Distributed Energy Resources in Transactive Energy Systems—2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

The number of distributed energy resources (DERs) connected to the distribution grid has increased in recent years, and this requires a change in the way current power system networks operate. Against this background, transactive energy has attracted extensive attention in terms of research as an active management scheme for prosumers through energy sharing and trading in power systems. However, it is a challenging task to design and build such a distributed and decentralized system because high-level system requirements must secured, such as market mechanisms for interactions between prosumers in the virtual layer, supporting technologies for the physical layer and interoperability across layers. This introduces the need for innovative methodologies to support a sustainable transaction model, an operation scheme for system reliability, regulation preventing conflicts of interest between stakeholders, and so on. In addition, it is also urgent to discuss supporting technologies, such as blockchains, power routing, smart metering, and digital twins, to realize transactive energy systems with DERs.

This Special Issue calls for original research articles, reviews, and case studies contributing to theories, frameworks, mechanism design, regulation, and supporting technologies for DERs in transactive energy systems. Topics to be covered in this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Distributed generation, renewable energy resources, smart grids, and microgrids.
• Energy market designs, energy market mechanisms, energy pricing, and market regulation.
• Transactive energy, peer-to-peer energy trading, virtual power plants, demand-side management, and incentive mechanisms.
• Optimal market strategies and agent-based models.
• Blockchains, power routing, and cybersecurity.

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. Energies is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
