Description
Summary:The IEEE Open Journal of Instrumentation and Measurement (OJIM) took its first steps in 2022 and opened a new and exciting venue for contributions on emerging topics from experts in the field. One of the long-standing subjects in the context of instrumentation and measurement is represented by power and energy measurements. In recent decades, this, so to speak, rather traditional field of research has received a new and impressive boost from the evolution of the industrial and economic context, but also from the pressing need to face the environmental problems affecting our Planet, whose mitigation demands a green revolution. Pursuing decarbonization means migrating from fossil fuel toward the intensive exploitation of renewable energy sources. A transition of such a magnitude relies on the ubiquitous presence of electricity and requires the electrification of most of our consumption. All these objectives ask for a new paradigm for energy systems, which shall combine centralized and distributed renewable energy generation, local energy storage, integration with electric mobility, communication, advanced automation, etc.
