Grid‐connected renewable energy sources

Abstract

The use of renewable energy sources (RESs) is a need of global society. This editorial, and its associated Special Issue “Grid‐Connected Renewable Energy Sources”, offer a compilation of some of the recent advances in the analysis of current power systems composed after the high penetration of distributed generation (DG) with different RESs. The focus is on both new control con-figurations and novel methodologies for the optimal placement and sizing of DG. The eleven ac-cepted papers certainly provide a good contribution to control deployments and methodologies for the allocation and sizing of DG.
