Effective smart grid operation requires rapid decisions in a data-rich, but information-limited, environment. In this context, grid sensor data-streaming cannot provide the system operators with the necessary information to act on in the time frames necessary to minimize the impact of the disturbances. Even if there are fast models that can convert the data into information, the smart grid operator must deal with the challenge of not having a full understanding of the context of the information, and, therefore, the information content cannot be used with any high degree of confidence. To address this issue, data mining has been recognized as the most promising enabling technology for improving decision-making processes, providing the right information at the right moment to the right decision-maker. This Special Issue is focused on emerging methodologies for data mining in smart grids. In this area, it addresses many relevant topics, ranging from methods for uncertainty management, to advanced dispatching. This Special Issue not only focuses on methodological breakthroughs and roadmaps in implementing the methodology, but also presents the much-needed sharing of the best practices. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:  Fuzziness in smart grids computing  Emerging techniques for renewable energy forecasting  Robust and proactive solution of optimal smart grids operation  Fuzzy-based smart grids monitoring and control frameworks  Granular computing for uncertainty management in smart grids  Self-organizing and decentralized paradigms for information processing

Information technology industries --- voltage regulation --- smart grid --- decentralized control architecture --- multi-agent systems --- t-SNE algorithm --- numerical weather prediction --- data preprocessing --- data visualization --- wind power generation --- partial discharge --- gas insulated switchgear --- case-based reasoning --- data matching --- variational autoencoder --- DSHW --- TBATS --- NN-AR --- time-series clustering --- decentral smart grid control (DSGC) --- interpretable and accurate DSGC-stability prediction --- data mining --- computational intelligence --- fuzzy rule-based classifiers --- multi-objective evolutionary optimization --- power systems resilience --- dynamic Bayesian network --- Markov model --- probabilistic modeling --- resilience models

The electric power sector is poised for transformative changes. Improvements in the cost and performance of a range of distributed energy generation (DG) technologies and the potential for breakthroughs in distributed energy storage (DS) are creating new options for onsite power generation and storage, driving increasing adoption and impacting utility distribution system operations. In addition, changing uses and use patterns for electricity—from plug-in electric vehicles (EVs) to demand response (DR)—are altering demands placed on the electric power system. Finally, the infusion of new information and communications technology (ICT) into the electric system and its markets is enabling the collection of immense volumes of data on power sector operations and use; unprecedented control of generation, networks, and loads; and new opportunities for the delivery of energy services. In this Special Issue of Energies, research papers on topics related to the integration of distributed energy resources (DG, DS, EV, and DR) are included. From technologies to software tools to system-wide evaluations, the impacts of all aforementioned distributed resources on both operation and planning are examined.
