Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Renewables are making pace to become a major source in the energy paradigm, which has been undergoing significant shifts over the past few decades. In order to enable a wide-scale integration of renewables, advanced grid-interfacing control solutions are strongly demanded. On one hand, power conversion efficiency and reliability are the keys aspects that need to be addressed in order to maximize the total energy yield, thereby reducing the overall cost of energy. On the other hand, the stability of the energy system under a high penetration level of renewable energy is also a concern from a system perspective. This can also be seen in the updated regulation for the grid-connected renewable energy system. Power electronics are the key enabling technology for achieving the above demands and have been widely used for renewable energy systems such as wind turbine, solar energy, and energy storage systems. Advancing the design, control, operation, and integration of power electronics has the potential to improve the performance of grid-connected renewable energy systems. This Special Issue, thus, serves to address the present challenging issues regarding the integration of renewable energies into a sustainable and resilient power system. Topics within, but not limited to, grid-connected renewable energy systems in general, as well as their control, operation, and design, are invited.

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.
