Call for Papers: Special Issue on Smart Grid
Journal of Advanced Computational Intelligence & Intelligent Informatics (JACIII)
Vol.17 No.1
Recently many utilities, manufacturers, researchers, government leaders around the world are working on a very
sophisticated issue, Smart Grid, to modernize both the electric power transmission and distribution grids for the
future. Smart grids are intelligent and self-healing power systems which integrate intelligent transmission network
with IT and collect, distribute, and process information about the behavior of all power suppliers and consumers in
order to improve reliability, power quality, and to reduce electricity costs. Using a key issue, smart meter, enables
smart grids to have smart real time monitoring on a regional and national scale to control and management the grids
to avoid or mitigate the system-wide blackouts. In this special issue, we hope to explore breakthrough and new
contributions useful to achieve the goal of smart grid.
Journal of Advanced Computational Intelligence & Intelligent Informatics (JACIII) invites investigators to submit
original papers in the area of smart grid. Topic scopes related to all aspects of research, development, and
real-world applications of smart grid, including but not limited to the following:
z Smart meter development and smart metering infrastructure
z Demand response
z Electric vehicles(EVs)
z Renewable energy including solar, wind, micro-hydro, biomass, geothermal energies, etc.
z Energy storage such as compressed air energy storage (CAES), flywheel energy storage, pumped hydro
storage, etc.
z Demand side grid management
z Energy and demand forecasting
z Smart communities and micro grids
z Smart grid development planning
z Home and building energy management systems
z Security and privacy protection in smart grid
z Communication requirements of smart grid technologies
z Wi-Fi, home area network and peer-to-peer networking for smart grid
z Obstacles in smart grid development
z Applications of computational intelligence to smart grid
