Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Microgrid is gaining greater acceptance due to its scope and ability to integrate various distributed energy resources (DER) such as solar PV, wind, storage, EV, H2FC, and waste to energy (W2E) that can work independently to support local loads. It is also able to connect to the main grid and can support the grid operation. Moreover, the application of microgrid is versatile and it supports meeting the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) for energy access and emission reduction. Considering the huge potential of microgrid benefits the demand for implementing microgrids is soaring. However, the implementation is challenging due to the nature and characteristics of each DERs, therefore the appropriate design is highly desirable for the reliable, sustainable, and feasible operation of a microgrid. The operation of microgrid includes managing resources, generation, demand, safety, and interaction between microgrid and utility grid. Therefore, innovation is required in the areas of control and management of the microgrid under various operating conditions. Moreover, applications of microgrids are diversified, flexible, and open doors for many future application designs such as energy sharing, and energy trading which require communication among resources. Therefore, it also introduces challenges to data integrity and data management due to the risk of cyber-attack.
Therefore, the main objective of this special issue is to highlight the recent challenges, development, and advancement in the growth of the modern power system. This will attract researchers to contribute to addressing the challenges and making energy accessible for all and making it reliable, affordable, and sustainable. This Special Issue will accept original and review research articles.
