Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The cyber–physical power system is a typical symmetrical system. To faciliate the power system, the cyber environment must be well designed according to the physical power system, which can further improve the optimal control efficiency. The cyber–physcial power system is closely related to symmetry, which can be a critical issue. Relationship analysis of cyber and physical power systems is a crucial topic, which can have various effects on power systems. The symmetry in network topology of power systems is a topic of intensive investigation concerning grid interconnection, which includes symmetrical and asymmetrical network parameters in smart-grid infrastructures. Power systems fullfill many potential symmetrical and asymmetrical faults, which can also be a critical issue. On the basis of cyber–physical environments, an optimal symmetrical control strategy can be created for efficent energy management, which is also an important issue. In addition, the layouts and locations of renewable energy resources can also be a symmetrical issue when considering symmetric and asymmetric concentrating CPC controllors.

This Special Issue invites researchers to submit original research papers and review articles related to renewable energy and power systems in which theoretical or practical issues of symmetry are considered. Applied case studies are especially welcome. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Symmetry in cyber–physical power systems;
  • Symmetry in the topology of power grids;
  • Symmetrical and asymmetrical faults in cyber–physcal power systems;
  • Symmetry studies of electrical signals using signal processing methods (FFT, DFT, STFT, WT, etc.);
  • Symmetry in optimal control strategy of cyber–physical power systems;
  • Symmetry in renewable energy systems (including smart grids and microgrids);
  • Symmetrical analysis of power plant layouts and location (including wind farms and photovoltaic plants).

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. Symmetry is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
