Feature papers represent the most advanced research with significant potential for high impact in the field. A Feature Paper should be a substantial original Article that involves several techniques or approaches, provides an outlook for future research directions and describes possible research applications.
Editor''s Choice articles are based on recommendations by the scientific editors of MDPI journals from around the world. Editors select a small number of articles recently published in the journal that they believe will be particularly interesting to readers, or important in the respective research area. The aim is to provide a snapshot of some of the most exciting work published in the various research areas of the journal.

Although the Middle East produces about 31 per cent of the world''s oil, it is diversifying quickly to advance growth in its industry, infrastructure, energy, transportation and mining sectors.
A growing consumer base dominated by a young population and an expanding middle class has led to a 5 per cent rise in electricity demand each year. The challenge is to ensure reliable and quality power for the people through clean energy, as far as possible.
The United Arab Emirates aims to produce nearly half of its electricity through renewable resources by 2050, with Dubai trying for 75 per cent. Saudi Arabia''s target is for 58.7GW by 2030 and the African Renewable Energy Initiative, led by institutions including the African Union and the UN Environment Programme, has a goal of 300GW – sufficient to provide clean power to 200 million households.
The probability of achieving these targets is high, thanks to the lower cost of photovoltaic panels and batteries. Grid edge solutions such as microgrids and battery energy storage help reduce the intermittency of renewable power from distributed energy resources (DER). The automation and control solutions iron out inconsistencies and enable grid stability and resilience.
In sunny or windy places, they can be powered by renewable energy, through small-scale solar farms or local wind turbines, and have close to 100 per cent renewable integration.
Accompanied by battery energy storage, these solutions store excess renewable power while being enabled with cloud-based remote services, to optimise energy flow. This lowers costs, maximises efficiency and reduces the need for system operators.
Microgrids can integrate DER with advanced control and automation technology, allowing easy management of power, with an overview of fleets, sites and operations.
A reliable power supply is key for industrial operations and mission-critical facilities such as defence, hospitals and airports. Downtime can impact production and operation, causing workforce inefficiency and damage to equipment.
Onsite microgrids, such as the one installed by ABB at the Longmeadow factory in South Africa, can help industries secure their power supply and reduce fossil fuel consumption by up to 50 per cent.
A microgrid solution provides full stand-alone or grid-connected functionalities and can seamlessly orchestrate switchovers between renewable energy over diesel-based backup solutions.
