Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the development of distributed renewable energy generation and modern power electronics, there has been a profound revolution in operation and control technology of power systems. Distributed renewable energy generation and new loads such as electric vehicles introduce significant randomness and volatility into the power system, together with the characteristics of a fast fault response, nonlinear control, multi-physical field coupling, etc. This brings new challenges to the safe, stable and efficient operation of the power system. Therefore, this Special Issue intends to present new ideas and solutions in the field of operation, control and protection of power systems with high penetration of renewable energies.
The fields related to the operation and control of power systems with high penetration of renewable energies include but are not limited to distributed energy generation, stability control of AC/DC hybrid grids, topology and coordinated control of microgrids, fault analysis and protection of HVDC transmission systems, etc. Control and protection technologies related to energy storage stations, virtual power plants and electric transportation are also topics of interest.
This Special Issue will publish high-quality, original research papers in the following overlapping fields:
- Advances in modelling and analysis of power systems with high penetration of renewable energies;
- Advances in operation and control of AC/DC hybrid power grids;
- Advances in new topology and control technologies for microgrids;
- Advances in fault analysis and protection of HVDC transmission systems and DC grids;
- New challenges and solutions for power systems with high penetration of renewable energies.

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. Applied Sciences 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 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.
