Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue focuses on energy transition with the use of renewable energy and low-carbon emissions, including transmission, distribution, and storage. Energy resilience is a strategy designed to ensure a stable and reliable energy supply. The concept of reliability, always present in the electrical power supply, has gained importance in recent years. Reliability is understood as a function that expresses a probability of survival over time, associated with the possibility of having electrical power available at any time, overcoming situations that result in service outages. A fundamental role is played by the storage of electrical energy.
In particular, the increase in distributed energy resources causes problems in distribution networks. To achieve a higher-quality and more-stable power supply, electrical power systems must address the problems in power grids where new technologies are incorporated, such as sustainable power generation systems, smart distribution grids, power system monitoring technologies, transmission systems, and DC distribution.
Grids and microgrids in which distributed generation is integrated are also on the rise. These grids can operate with alternating current and direct current buses.
IoT device development is used in smart grids, high- and low-voltage grids for electric power distribution, power plants with renewable energies (photovoltaic, wind, hydro, biomass, etc.), traditional power plants, electrical substations, transformer stations, homes, smart grids, street lighting, electric vehicles, and energy storage systems, etc.
Another important aspect of electrical systems is management through the communication systems used for sending information, which allow us to obtain data from the electrical system at different points, and with small energy consumption and energy storage, making it 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. Electronics 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.
