Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Building on the success of the first edition of “Power Systems and Energy Systems: Technologies and Applications”, we are excited to present the second edition, aiming to further highlight the latest research and innovations in the field.

Power systems are composed of large and complex networks, governed by physical laws in which unexpected and uncontrollable events may occur. This complexity has grown considerably in recent years due to increased renewable energy generation capacity and increased distributed generation. Therefore, the analysis, design and operation of current and future power systems requires effective approaches to solving different problems such as load flow parameters and location finding, filter design, fault locations, accident analysis, system recovery after blackouts, islanding detection, economic dispatch, unit commitment, etc. This evolution has been so frenetic that it has become necessary for engineers to update the material sufficiently to face the new challenges involved in managing the new generation of networks.

This Special Issue, on “Power Systems and Energy Systems: Technologies and Applications, 2nd Edition”, will contain the results of the most advanced and latest research, and will particularly focus on the development and practical considerations for power systems and next-generation power electronic techniques. The topics covered in this issue comprise, but are not limited to, ‎the following items:

  • Power systems;
  • Energy management systems;
  • HVDC power transmission;
  • Optical fiber sensing technology;
  • DC high current detection technology;
  • Acoustic emission detection technology;
  • Power electronics technologies in power systems.

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue

The photovoltaic, energy storage, direct current, and flexibility (PEDF) system represents a crucial innovation for transforming buildings into low-carbon energy sources. Although it is still in the early stages of scalable demonstration, current research and practice related to PEDF lack comprehensive studies on optimizing and evaluating system capacity configuration across various scenarios. Capacity configuration and energy scheduling are crucial components that are often treated separately, leading to a missing opportunity to leverage the synergy among key interactive devices. To address this issue, this paper proposes an optimization and evaluation framework for the PEDF system that employs a dual-layer model for planning and operating. This framework precisely configures the PEDF topology, load, photovoltaic, energy storage, and critical interactive devices, while integrating economic, environmental, and reliability objectives. The effectiveness of the proposed model has been validated in optimizing capacity configurations for newly built office buildings and existing commercial settings. The results indicate that for new office buildings, schemes that prioritize low-carbon initiatives are more effective than those that focus on reliability and economy. In existing commercial buildings, reliability-focused schemes outperform those that prioritize economy and low carbon, and all three are significantly better than pre-configuration schemes. The proposed framework enhances the theoretical understanding of PEDF system planning and evaluation, thereby promoting broader adoption of sustainable energy technologies. Full article
