Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The design, operation, and management of power systems have become increasingly complex in recent decades. To improve grid reliability, performance, security, and consumer expectations, the information and communications technologies (ICT) and traditional operations technologies (OT) converged, producing the smart grid (SG). Under these conditions, the monitoring, protection, and control of smart grid operations can be made more reliable and resilient when smart sensors are used to provide real-time data and the status of bidirectional flows of energy.
Smart grid sensors are components or devices to measure and convert physical properties into electrical signals and/or data, and include both conventional and cutting-edge technologies, as well as data-driven and intelligent methods to support innovative smart grid applications. A smart sensor network is an infrastructure that collects data from distributed sensors and sensor nodes and sends it to a central monitoring location.
The scope of this Special Issue is to cover promising and novel research trends in technologies and applications for smart grids based on smart sensor networks. Submitted works should be original research papers and reviews with a substantial novel contribution towards the scope. Areas to be covered in this research topic may include, but are not limited to:
- Innovative smart grid applications.
- Smart grid cyber-security against malicious attacks.
- Smart home applications.
- Smart grid and renewable energy resources.
- Smart grid monitoring, control, and protection.
- Smart metering.
- Smart sensor networks and environmental challenges.
- Smart sensor networks and electric vehicles.

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. Sensors 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 2600 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.
