Advanced Management and Control Strategies for Power Generation Systems and Microgrids

Dear Colleagues,

The Guest Editors are pleased to invite submissions in a Special Issue entitled “Advanced management and control strategies for power generation systems and microgrids.”

The design of advanced control and energy management methodologies is of importance to promote the development of sustainable power generation systems with increased integration of renewable energy sources (RES) and energy storage systems. The objective of this issue is to address challenges related to power quality and stability challenges in power generation systems and microgrids considering both stationary and e-mobility applications. These issues can be worsened due to reduced inertia and limited power capacity of power-electronics dominated systems, RES production intermittency, and load uncertainties. This requires the development of robust control techniques and multiobjective energy management strategies.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:                                  

• Modeling, stability analysis, and control of renewable energy and storage systems
• Assessment and mitigation of power quality problems in power generation units and microgrids
• Advanced control solutions for power-electronics dominated systems
• Fault-tolerant control for power generation units and microgrids
• Hybrid energy systems: sizing optimisation and energy management
• Hierarchical control techniques for distributed generation 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 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-anonymized 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.
