Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The penetration of non-synchronous generation and storage is one of the topics that cannot be avoided when dealing with the transmission and distribution systems today. Shares of solar power generation, variable speed generation, and battery storage are continuously increasing compared to synchronous generation. Consequently, non-synchronous generation and storage, not only affect normal system operation but also change the long- and short-term stability of the entire system. However, non-synchronous generation and storage units are all connected to the network through power electronic converters. Consequently, different control strategies and smart solutions can be applied to enhance system stability.
This Special Issue focuses on, but is not limited to, the following topics:
- Methods for stability analysis of transmission and distribution systems with a large share of non‐synchronous generation and storage;
- Unit commitment and reserve scheduling in transmission systems with a large share of non-synchronous generation and storage;
- Models of non-synchronous generation and storage units;
- Power electronic converters for non-synchronous generation and storage applications;
- Applications of non-synchronous generation and storage units, their combinations, or combinations with conventional synchronous generation units;
- Control strategies for non-synchronous generation and storage units to enhance voltage and frequency stability;
- Methods for the determination of fault current contribution from non-synchronous generation and storage units;
- Protection design in transmission and distribution systems with non-synchronous generation and storage;
- Protection principles for non-synchronous generation and storage units;
- Smart solutions for transmission and distribution systems with non-synchronous generation and storage.

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.
