Recent Advances and Challenges in Emerging Power Systems: 2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue follows the publication of the first edition of "Recent Advances and Challenges in Emerging Power Systems", consisting of 15 interesting papers.

The continually increasing demand for energy and the pollution caused by the increased generation of electricity using fossil fuels have caused environmental concerns. This has led to the development of renewable energy sources for the generation of electricity and their integration within existing conventional power networks. Differences in the characteristics of the generation of electricity from conventional and renewable energy sources offer challenges, and major restruction in the operation, control, and protection practices of the entire power network is currently taking place to integrate the two in a seamless and efficient manner. It also offers a tremendous opportunity to rejuvenate the practices that have developed over the past 140 years and enhance the entire grid operation, making it more efficient and reliable in light of the newly developed technologies. A large number of investigators in all parts of the world are now working on developing new ideas and schemes from this perspective, and many advances in emerging power systems are being made. The objective of this Special Issue of Inventions is to provide a platform where all researchers can contribute their ideas on the integration of conventional power systems and renewable energy sources for the generation of electricity.
