Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Editor is inviting submissions for a Special Issue of Applied Sciences on the subject area of "Novel Power Electronics Technologies in Power Systems”. The Special Issue will focus on the current and envisioned future roles of power electronic converters in power systems. As the grid is getting smarter, power electronic devices have started to play a vital role in the enhancement of efficiency and reliability of the existing power generation, transmission, distribution, and delivery infrastructure. Some of the prominent applications from power electronic devices in power systems include active filtering, compensation, and power conditioning. With increased penetration of renewable energy resources and storage systems, the application of power electronics in power systems has become more vital. With the advent of smart parks that includes renewable energy and plug-in electric vehicles (PEV)-based distributed resources, the ancillary services provided by such power electronic converters can form one of the major cruxes of the smart grid environment.
This Special Issue will focus on emerging novel applications of power electronic devices for power systems.
Topics of interest for publication include but are not limited to:
Smart inverters in smart grid;
Power electronic converters, HVDC and FACTS;
Flexible AC transmission system (FACTS) devices in distribution systems;
Novel controls of power electronic devices in power systems;
Power electronics applications in distribution systems and microgrid;
Novel renewable energy converter/inverter systems;
New topologies of high voltage inverter/converter in power systems;
New applications of power electronics in power systems;
Power electronics in smart grid;
Power-electronics-based distributed generators.

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 2300 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.
