Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Modern power systems are evolving at a great pace in order to tackle challenges related to the efficient integration of distributed electricity generation, electric vehicles, and zero-energy buildings. Sophisticated control algorithms, as well as information communication technology, are required to support this transformation. Furthermore, high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission lines are being used to transport energy at longer distances. The increasing penetration of distributed electricity generation presents several issues that may impact the performances of distribution networks. These issues can limit the hosting capacity and may increase power quality problems. Moreover, new loads such as electric vehicles and battery storage systems provide an opportunity for the more flexible operation of the distribution network.

This Special Issue will provide valuable inputs for advanced research topics related to modern electric power systems, with a prime focus on transmission and distribution systems. The main topics of interest for this Special Issue include but are not limited to the following:

  • Impact of distributed generation of the capacity of distribution and transmission systems;
  • Advancement in DC grid modeling, protection, control, and stability;
  • AC/DC hybrid transmission systems;
  • Issues of isolated microgrids;
  • Impact of large-scale distributed electricity generation on hosting capacity;
  • Current harmonic emission in the distribution network;
  • Current and voltage harmonic interdependency;
  • Current harmonic sensitivity;
  • Impact of nonlinear loads on the current harmonic emission in the distribution network;
  • High order (supraharmonics) emissions;
  • Information and communication technology for smart grids.

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.
