Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Electrical and IoT-connected installations are part of future of electricity grids. This enables numerous operations to be performed within the power system. Electric power systems can be considered as symmetrical systems from energy supply to energy consumption, which must take into account the improvement of supply quality, reduction of carbon emissions, integration of renewable energy sources, increasing energy costs, etc.
In particular, the increase in distributed energy resources causes problems in distribution networks. To achieve a higher-quality and more stable power supply, electric power systems must address the problems of both symmetrical and asymmetrical power grids, where new technologies are incorporated, including sustainable energy generation systems, smart distribution grids, power system monitoring technologies, transmission systems, and DC distribution.
Networks and microgrids where distributed generation is integrated are also becoming more common. These networks can operate with alternating-current and direct-current buses. Therefore, it is necessary to develop in both types of networks.
The development of IoT devices is used in areas such as Industry 4.0, high- and low-voltage networks for the distribution of electrical energy, electrical plants with renewable energies (photovoltaic, wind, hydraulic, biomass, etc.), traditional electrical plants, electrical substations, transformation centers, homes, smart grids, street lights, electric vehicles, energy storage systems, etc.
Another important aspect of smart grids is the communication systems used to send information, among which LoRa grids stand out, as they allow data to be obtained from the electricity system at different points, with small energy consumptions, which makes the task more efficient.

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. Symmetry is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
