Sustainable Energy, Grids and Networks (SEGAN) is an international peer-reviewed publication for theoretical and applied research dealing with energy, information grids and power networks, including smart grids from super to micro grid scales. SEGAN welcomes papers describing fundamental advances in mathematical, statistical or computational methods with application to power and energy systems, as well as papers on applications, computation and modeling in the areas of electrical and energy systems with coupled information and communication technologies.SEGAN is an interdisciplinary journal that aims to bring together researchers from academia and industry from across Energy, Engineering, Computer Science, Mathematics and Energy Policy/Regulation.SEGAN publishes original articles and short communications, as well as selected review articles by invitation and/or approval of the Editor-in-Chief. Proposals for review articles and special issues should be submitted to the Editor-in-Chief for consideration.SEGAN particularly welcomes papers on the following topics:Theoretical developments in planning and operation of electrical and energy systems – Definition and application of computational methods for stochastic optimization – Applied optimization and mathematical programmingData analysis and computation for power and energy systems – Data-driven modelling techniques for power and energy systems – Machine learning, statistics and computational intelligence – Big Data analyticsIntegrated operation of information and communication technologies (ICT) in electrical and energy systems – ICT integration in electrical and energy systems for monitoring and control – Modeling of cyber-physical energy and communication systems – Demand-side management and demand response: definition of control schemes and protocols – Advanced metering infrastructuresModeling and analysis of modern and future electrical and energy systems – Integrated electrical and thermal grids – Active distribution networks and virtual power plants – Massive integration of volatile renewable energy resources in smart grids – Integrated control of electrical transmission and distribution networks – Electrical systems security and reliability in systems with large-scale volatile resources – New dynamics and stability issues in power systems – Control and planning of centralized and distributed energy storageNew components for future electrical and energy systems – Coupled AC/DC supergrids – Coupling of energy conversion systems with electrical and energy gridsSustainability assessment of electrical and energy systems – Policy, regulation and economics of modern electrical and thermal networks – Development of the Smart City concept towards the integration of energy, transportation (e.g. electric vehicles) and ICT networks.This journal welcomes contributions that support and advance the UN's sustainable development goals, in particular SDG 7 (Affordable and clean energy) and SDG 11 (Sustainable cities and communities)
