| Sumario: | The systems used to distribute electricity are currently undergoing a series of changes that are aiding in the development of smart grids [1]. Microgrids and the power electronics involved through grid-connected converters are crucial to achieving this development since they allow for greater flexibility and efficiency in energy management. Furthermore, the fragmentation of distribution systems into multiple controllable subparts improves the global reliability of electrical networks [2]. Fully automated microgrids can operate when connected to main power networks or isolated from them in case of a failure affecting the master grid. However, managing each of the resulting parts and coordinating these parts radically increases the need for measurements, predictions, and control. Smart grids and microgrids started to be seriously studied in the first decade of the 21st century. The reasons for their study mainly point to the dissatisfaction with the operation of traditional electrical networks at the end of the 20th century [3]. The major blackouts of 1965 and 1977 in New York, the one in 1999 in Brazil, and the major blackout in the Northwest of the United States in 2003 only served to demonstrate the limitations and vulnerabilities of traditional electrical systems, reaffirming the need for greater flexibility, automation, and control in the management of energy. The research and development that can still be carried out on these topics are relevant since both microgrids and power electronics help reduce dependence on centralized energy sources and greenhouse gas emissions. The Special Issue “Measurements, Predictions, and Control in Microgrids and Power Electronic System” has aimed to collect new knowledge related to obtaining electrical variables—voltages, currents and/or powers—in real time using new forms of metering/sensing, estimation, or prediction. In particular, recent developments aimed at control applications in systems, such as grid-connected inverters or micro-grids, have been sought after and promoted. |
