Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The implementation of microgrids has been promoted by recent actions aimed at reducing the negative environmental impact of conventional electricity generation and inefficient energy consumption. These microgrids have allowed for the decentralization of the conventional power system and provision of energy to isolated regions. Additionally, microgrids are now being used in applications such as electric mobility and aerospace systems. This has made microgrids a challenging research topic, leading to the development of new topologies, management systems, control strategies, monitoring, and protection systems, and more. However, in order to achieve widespread use of microgrids, it is necessary to research and develop new technologies that increase their efficiency, reliability, flexibility, and adaptability.
This Special Issue aims to present recent developments in the fields of planning, operation, and control of microgrids and their applications. These topics include, but are not limited to:
- Microgrid optimization, planning, and control;
- Modeling, analysis, and control of DC and AC microgrids based on renewable energy sources;
- Analysis and operation of grid-connected, isolated, and hybrid microgrids;
- Modeling and control of low-power and high-power converters for microgrids and smart grid applications;
- Integration of microgrids into the electric power system;
- Integration of electric vehicles in microgrids;
- Design of control and management strategies for microgrids and smart grids;
- Integration of energy storage systems based on batteries, supercapacitors, and superconducting coils in microgrids;
- Optimization algorithms for energy management and intelligent control of microgrids;
- Ancillary services of microgrids;
- Diagnostics, maintenance, reliability, vulnerability, and self-healing of microgrids.

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. Energies 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 2600 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.
