Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The need for resilient and secure communication solutions in the design, monitoring, and development of energy systems is paramount to ensure the smooth operation, reliability, and protection of critical infrastructure. Resilient communication solutions provide robust connectivity and enable seamless data exchange between various components of the energy system, including power plants, substations, smart meters, and control centers. This facilitates real-time monitoring, control, and coordination, ensuring efficient energy management and response to dynamic conditions. Secure communication solutions, on the other hand, protect against cyber threats, unauthorized access, and data breaches. Encryption, authentication protocols, and firewalls help safeguard the integrity and confidentiality of communication channels, preventing unauthorized manipulation or interception of sensitive information. By implementing resilient and secure communication solutions, energy systems can enhance their resilience, maintain operational continuity, and effectively defend against emerging cybersecurity risks, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the entire energy infrastructure.

This Special Issue on “Design, Monitoring and Dynamic Model Development of Energy System” intends to present novel resilient and secure communication solutions for energy systems. Topics include but are not limited to:

  • Dynamic models for integration of distributed energy systems;
  • Monitoring and control of distributed energy systems;
  • Cybersecurity solutions for distributed energy systems.

The relentlessly depleting fossil-fuel-based energy resources worldwide have forbidden an imminent energy crisis that could severely impact the general population. This dire situation calls for the immediate exploitation of renewable energy resources to redress the balance between power consumption and generation. This manuscript confers about energy management tactics to optimize the methods of power production and consumption. Furthermore, this paper also discusses the solutions to enhance the reliability of the electrical power system. In order to elucidate the enhanced reliability of the electrical system, microgrids consisting of different energy resources, load types, and optimization techniques are comprehensively analyzed to explore the significance of energy management systems (EMSs) and demand response strategies. Subsequently, this paper discusses the role of EMS for the proper consumption of electrical power considering the advent of electric vehicles (EVs) in the energy market. The main reason to integrate EVs is the growing hazards of climate change due to carbon emissions. Moreover, this paper sheds light on the growing importance of artificial intelligence (AI) in the technological realm and its incorporation into electrical systems with the notion of strengthening existing smart grid technologies and to handle the uncertainties in load management. This paper also delineates the different methodologies to effectively mitigate the probability of facing cyber-attacks and to make the smart grids invulnerable. Full article
