Editorial on the special issue entitled “Regulatory frameworks addressed to promote renewable energy sources and microgrids. Regulatory constraints and implications on conception, design and energy management of microgrids"

As renewable energy sources and microgrids have developed, the need to use a transversal approach for dealing with issues on the design and energy management of these assets is clear. Al- though renewable energy sources and microgrids are used within the electricity sector in a significant number of...

Descripción
Sumario:As renewable energy sources and microgrids have developed, the need to use a transversal approach for dealing with issues on the design and energy management of these assets is clear. Al- though renewable energy sources and microgrids are used within the electricity sector in a significant number of countries, the technical and scientific literature often dismisses the effects that in-force regulatory frameworks have on this type of assets. This Special Issue aims to enlighten readers on the relationship between the electricity sector’s regulatory frameworks and microgrids, providing clear evidence on the need to consider regulatory constraints in their design and energy management.
