Abstract
Dear Authors, Invited Guests, and Delegates As the General Chair and Technical Committee Chair of the 2020 International Conference on Smart Grids and Energy Systems (SGES 2020), it gives us immense pleasure to welcome over 200 guests and delegates from Universities, Research Organizations, Industry, Government, and NGOs from over 30 countries around the world to the Conference. Also, a very warm welcome to the beautiful and sunny Perth in a virtual way. COVID-19 changed many of our current practices in 2020 including face-to-face conferences but we are thankful to all conference authors and delegates who supported our idea of arranging this conference on-line.
