Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The world is facing increasingly serious energy and environmental crises and sustainable energy systems and smart grids play vital roles in solving the problems of non-renewable traditional fossil energy and protecting the environment, as well as improving the efficiency of resource utilization. Therefore, research on the theories and applications of sustainable energy systems and smart power grids has attracted considerable attention and this Special Issue covers new developments, recent advances, emerging trends, and the state-of-the-art technologies in these fields.
The main topics include:
- the fundamentals, modeling, control, optimization, and simulation aspects of sustainable energy systems and smart grids;
- the grid integration of renewables;
- micro-grids;
- distribution networks;
- low-inertia power systems;
- the planning and operation of smart grids;
- energy storage technologies;
- the technologies and applications of superconductivity;
- intelligent technologies for system operation and maintenance, such as equipment and flaw detection, quality evaluation and the enhancement of monitoring video, operational behavior recognition of workers, and abnormal business analysis, etc.
Since sustainable energy resources and smart grid facilities vary across countries and regions, a wide range of contributions are invited from all over the world.
