Guest Editorial: Special Section on Analytics for Energy Forecasting with Applications to Smart Grid

I'm glad to announce that the special section we edited last year has been published by IEEE Transactions on Smart Grid. I had a great pleasure working with and learning from my guest editors during this editorial process. The guest editorial is available on IEEE Xplore with open access.
