Monitoring and Automation of Complex Power Systems.

This Special Issue aims at collecting new research contributions and perspectives on the topic of the monitoring and automation of modern power systems. Given the multitude of distributed energy resources to be coordinated, the velocity with which the system conditions may change, and the massive increase of heterogeneous data to be processed, grid operators increasingly need to be supported in their tasks by fully (or semi-) automated grid management processes. In [[3]], a distribution system state estimation algorithm based on an extended Kalman filter (EKF) is proposed for the accurate tracking of the grid operating conditions over time.
