Abstract :

As the demand for sustainable and efficient energy solutions grows, there is a growing emphasis on innovative strategies, such as demand-side management, to optimize energy consumption and improve system efficiency. Recognizing and nurturing the next-generation of leaders in energy research is critical to advancing these innovations and ensuring a sustainable energy future.

This Research Topic focuses on adopting demand-side management (DSM) strategies within decentralized microgrid structures, enabling consumers to align their consumption patterns with grid utility requirements. Currently, 10 papers have been accepted for this Research Topic, addressing areas such as advanced control algorithms for DSM implementation, techno-economic analysis of microgrids, efficient microgrid energy management system designs incorporating demand response programs, advanced DSM frameworks for microgrids featuring smart load monitoring and intelligent load controllers to minimize peak demand and energy costs, and short-term energy prediction techniques. By showcasing the key findings and innovations across these ten diverse articles, this Research Topic aims to deepen the understanding of current advancements in energy research and their potential contributions to a sustainable future.
