Optimal Planning, Integration and Control of Smart Grids and Microgrids Systems, 2nd Edition

Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

This topic is a continuation of the previous successful Topic “Optimal Planning, Integration and Control of Smart Grids and Microgrids Systems” (https://www.mdpi.com/topics/JC36MT351D). With the development of renewable energy technology, the penetration of renewable energy sources into the existing power systems is inevitable. With increasing penetration of renewable energy sources, power/energy management becomes critical and challenging for the successful operation of smart grids and microgrid systems. Smart grids include power generation/consumption equipment, power transmission and distribution networks, and energy storage equipment, including sensor measurement technology, network technology, communication technology, automation and intelligent control technology. For the efficient and effective control of smart grids and microgrid systems, communication among different entities/devices/agents and associated cybersecurity is another vital vector. This Research Topic will collect articles related to the role of the smart grid in integrated energy systems, including stochastic renewable energy sources, and present important findings to overcome the volatile nature of renewables with the help of energy storage and demand response programs. Areas covered in this Research Topic include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Optimal planning/sizing of microgrids/smart grids;
• Integration and control of renewable energy systems with microgrid systems;
• System integrations through static interfaces;
• Reliability aspects in smart grid systems;
• Storage optimization studies in smart microgrid systems;
• Communications in smart grids for effective control implementations;
• Cyber–physical systems in smart grid/microgrid systems;
• Power quality aspects in smart grid systems with high renewable energy penetration;
• Virtual inertia systems;
• Operations of grid under fault conditions.
