Advanced Developments in the Protection and Control of Power Systems

Dear Colleagues,

Protection and control are important approaches to ensuring the safe operation and optimal scheduling of the power system. In recent years, the protection and control of power systems have faced increasing challenges. Now, more and more renewable energy resources are integrated into power systems, thus elevating the operational risks posed due to the uncertainty of renewable energy resources. Power systems have also become dominated by power electronics. The impacts of power electronic devices on power systems are more complex than those of traditional equipment. In addition to renewable energy resources, other distributed energy resources and more flexible resources, such as electric vehicles, have been introduced into power systems. The protection and control of modern power systems in required in order to implement these changes.

This Special Issue focuses on advanced developments in the protection and control of power systems. We encourage the contribution of original papers addressing power system analysis and control, power system planning, power system protection, and the impacts of large-scale electric vehicle integration and power electronic devices on power grids. We also welcome original research presenting new technologies such as artificial intelligence and the application of novel advanced communication technologies to the protection and control of power systems.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Sustainability is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
