Power Systems and Renewable Energy Systems: Technologies and Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Power systems are composed of large and complex networks governed by physical laws, in which unexpected and uncontrollable events may occur. This complexity has grown considerably in recent years due to increased renewable energy generation capacity and increased distributed generation. Therefore, the analysis, design and operation of current and future power systems requires an effective approach for solving various problems, such as load flow parameters, location finding, filter design, fault location, accident analysis, system recovery after blackout, islanding detection, economic dispatch, unit commitment, etc. This evolution has been so frenetic that it has become necessary for engineers to continuously update the material in order to successfully face and overcome the new challenges involved in managing a new generation of networks.

This Special Issue on “Power Systems and Renewable Energy Systems: Technologies and Applications” will contain the results of the most advanced research in this field and will particularly focus on the development and practical considerations for power systems and next-generation power electronics techniques. The topics covered in this Special Issue will include, but are not limited to, ‎the following:

• power systems;
• energy management systems;
• HVDC power transmission;
• optical fiber sensing technology;
• DC high current detection technology;
• acoustic emission detection technology;
• power electronics technologies in power systems.

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. Applied Sciences 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.
