Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The electric grid is undergoing significant changes due to the integration of clean energy resources, such as solar and wind, in an attempt to address the impacts of climate change. Distributed energy resources (DERs), such as wind and solar energy, are replacing traditional energy generation. However, this also brings about various threats of instabilities and security concerns in the forms of cyberattacks, voltage instability, and power quality disturbances. For example, the risk of cyberattacks on DERs rises, with the potential for a broader impact, as more solar and DER devices are connected to the grid. In addition, the high penetration level, dispersed location, and intermittent output of renewable energy bring security and stability issues to the operation and control of power systems. Advanced metering infrastructure, the SCADA system, the distributed energy resource management system, and artificial intelligence are effective systems and tools that can be utilized to ensure a reliable, stable, and secure grid operation. Thus, the objective of this Special Issue is to address the security and stability issues of power systems’ operation and control.

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.
