Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The recent extraordinary development of renewable energies, associated with the development of systems for recharging electrical vehicles, has started an evolution in electrical power systems that is only at its beginning. In this evolutionary context, issues related to electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) are crucial topics that should be transversally afforded in an ever more complex electrical system.

The focus of this Special Issue is manifold, ranging from classical EMC topics, such as those related to “evergreen” EMC issues, e.g., (but not limited to) lightning modeling and protection, geomagnetic interferences, grounding and power line carrier over MV and HV lines, to more recent aspects, like those covering Intentional EMI, EMI from HVDC systems and filters dealing with power quality issues.

Academic scientists, industry researchers and Ph. D. students are invited to submit original theoretical and/or applications-oriented contributions concerning any EMC issue relevant to 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. Energies 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 2600 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.

In this paper, we propose a mitigation method for reducing lightning-induced insulator voltages based on the installation of low-voltage surge arresters aligned parallelly to the insulator. The three-dimensional finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method is applied to numerically model a real surge arrester residual voltage evaluation system. The application of a transient current pulse, typical of lightning discharges, is considered in our numerical model. We considered cases with one or two surge arresters installed per phase, in three different geometric and parametric configurations for installing distribution surge arresters. In addition to the Kirchhoff current division, which reduces both the absorbed energy and the thermal stress, the results associated with the installation of two surge arresters parallelly aligned to the insulator show that the interaction of magnetic fields generated by the surge arresters’ currents can produce an additional strong reduction in lightning-induced voltage over the insulator, as presented in this paper. Conditions for maximum voltage reduction are also identified. A brief cost-effectiveness analysis is also provided. Full article
