Description
Summary:This editorial document provides the main motivations and a brief description of each paper published in the “Rethinking the Distribution Power Network Planning and Operation for a Sustainable Smart Grid and Smooth Interaction with Electrified Transportation” Special Issue. This Special Issue aims to present several innovative solutions on planning and operation of distribution power networks under smart grid paradigm where prosumers, electric vehicles, and other typical loads are usually connected. Some of those solutions and computational applications were covered in this Special Issue, namely probabilistic power flow, voltage and power factor control, agent-based simulation, digital twin, resilient energy scheduling, and uncertainty modeling are among the contributions. The published works are very timely and are of great interest, which will certainly drive the impact of future researchers in the near term concerning the field of this Special Issue.
