Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, interest in environmental protection and energy sustainability has steadily increased, promoting research activities and projects focused on non-conventional renewable energy (NCRE) sources as a replacement for fossil fuels. In this context, NCRE-based technologies offer a solution for the integration of distributed energy resources; microgrids (MGs) have been introduced to facilitate the integration of many microgenerators, energy storage units and loads. MGs are considered effective solutions for electrification in rural zones, industrial parks, commercial and institutional campuses and other places where distributed renewable resources exist. Moreover, MGs have been explored for other applications, such as in the sectors of agriculture, shipboards and satellites. To ensure the optimal operation of MGs, it is necessary to develop advanced control schemes facilitating the management of these systems.
This Special Issue welcomes original articles on advanced control schemes for managing microgrids and novel and incipient applications where MGs could be used as a novel solution for electric energy generation. We encourage the submission of articles related to but not limited to the following topics to this Special Issue:
- Planning and operation of microgrids (MGs);
- Hybrid microgrids AC/DC;
- Energy–water microgrids;
- Shipboard microgrids;
- Agrivoltaics systems;
- Advanced control strategies for microgrids;
- Cybersecurity in microgrids;
- Computational intelligence methods for MGs;
- Power quality in microgrids;
- Stability of microgrids.

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. Sustainability 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 2400 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.
