Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to identify and discuss technical challenges and recent results related to smart sensors for microgrids and smartgrids. To meet the requirements of smart energy, new sensors, processing algorithms, and advanced communication, networks are needed. Improvements are also required in the areas of data storage and management, efficient monitoring, effective and flexible energy resource management, better system scalability, and reconfiguration. Therefore, the topics considered for this Special Issue range from smart sensors and embedded systems that already exist in the lower layer of data processing and cloud techniques in the upper layer, in order to achieve a better understanding, adjustment, and performance of all energy management processes.
There are many topics related to this Special Issue, such as the use of advanced sensors, including energy management systems, extensive data collection and storage for load and generation forecasting, extensive data analysis, smart metering, etc.
The topics of interests for this Special Issue include but are not limited to the following:
