Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The past years has seen a progressive urbanization and upgrading process, along with the intelligentialization and popularity of energy-intensive appliances via advanced information and communications technologies. Next-generation distribution systems encompass various innovative technologies, strategies, and concepts aimed at transforming traditional power distribution into a more intelligent, efficient, and sustainable network. Therefore, new planning, operation, and control strategies for next-generation distribution system are becoming a pressing need.

In this Special Issue, articles on topics such as cyber–physical systems, renewable energy integration, next-generation distribution systems, and so on are of interest. This Special Issue intends to act as a forum for the dissemination of the latest research and developments in strategies for next-generation distribution systems in the context of “CO2 peaking and neutrality”.
