Algorithms in Planning and Operation of Power Systems
This special issue belongs to the section "Algorithms for Multidisciplinary Applications".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Optimal planning and secure grid operation are a new challenge for modern power systems. Conventional generation assets are becoming a thing of the past. Similarly, conventional grids for power transmission and power distribution are also transforming their paradigms. Now, due to the rising power of the digital age and an era of sustainable development, renewable sources have taken the place of fossil fuels, and smart digital grids are also being used.
Renewable power plants, such as wind power generation (WEG), solar power generation (PVG), and small hydro power plants (SHP), together with the new conception of smart grids, are now chosen more often because, firstly, they are sustainable and environmentally friendly and can thus curb the issue of global warming, and secondly, they are more workable and reliable in commercial use. With this penetration of grids with high levels of stochastic resources, the development of innovative computing tools is necessary in order to obtain a risk-based power generation estimation by evaluating the stochasticity of primary sources (wind, solar, and river flow).
Different algorithm approaches must be applied to meet these modern power system needs to obtain new solutions for the planning and operation of power systems. Through this approach, new research in this area is looking to expand the application of advanced computing algorithms for the solution of power system problems.

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. Algorithms 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 1800 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.
