Special Issue on Planning and Operation of Smart Grid Integrated Renewable Energy

The Guest Editor-in-Chief:

Wei-Jen Lee, a fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), is the director of the Energy Systems Research Center of the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA), a member of Academy of Distinguished Scholar at UTA, the president-elect of the IEEE Industry Application Society (IAS), the vice chair of IEEE Power Africa Steering Committee, and the founding chair of IEEE IAS Industrial and Commercial Power System (I&CPS) Asia Operating Committee. He has long been engaged in scientific research in the fields of the theory and practice of electrical engineering in the application of electrical systems to the processes and equipment of industry. His main research areas include arc flash and electrical safety, renewable energy, load forecasting, online real time equipment diagnostic and prognostic system, and microcomputer-based instrumentation for power systems monitoring, control, and protection. He has refereed numerous technical papers for IEEE and other professional organizations and been involved in the revision of a series of IEEE standards.

The electric grid is unique in that electricity supply and demand must remain tightly balanced at all times. In the past, this balancing act was performed by vertically utilities that controlled both the generation and the delivery systems. With the development of human society and economic needs, electricity consumption and supply patterns are becoming complex and diverse. Emerging innovative technologies are also driving the revolution of electric grid. These pose more and more challenges to traditional power balancing measures and grid framework. The growing consensus in the industry and among many national governments is that to face the challenges, modern power grids eed to become smarter. Therefore, considerable activities are being carried out in the nited States, Europe, and China for the development of smart grid.

We would like to invite scholars in the areas of advanced energy technologies and new and renewable energy integration, energy strategy and policy, and other areas to contribute papers to our special issue on planning and operation of smart grid integrated renewable energy.
