Smart Grid Voltage Control

Dear Colleagues,

Modern power systems require reliable voltage control architectures, which should be able to promptly compensate voltage fluctuations. Self-organizing, highly scalable, and distributed, they are probably the architectures of the future, but their deployment in realistic operation scenarios is still an open issue due to, just as an example, the presence of non-ideal and unreliable communication systems. In this context, the research for new, more advanced, voltage control architectures represents one of the most promising research directions for smart power grids. In this regard, this Special Issue invites researchers and industry to contribute with new proposals in terms of devices, techniques, and algorithms which can face the new challenge of voltage regulation in the context of smart power grids. Review papers are also welcome.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
