Recent Advances in Grid Connected Photovoltaic Systems

Dear Colleagues,

Installations of grid-connected photovoltaic systems (GCPS) have been growing rapidly around the world, mainly due to their capacity to generate clean and renewable electricity. Industries and academia are always developing technological advancements for photovoltaic systems aiming at better utilization of electric energy, size reduction, high reliability, and accurate controllers, beyond other relevant topics. In this context, recent advances and new challenges can be addressed. The focus of this Special Issue is to publish original recent advances of GCPS contributing to the increased use of photovoltaic renewable energy. Topics of interest for this Special Issue include but are not limited to the following areas: trends and developments in GCPS technologies, new maximum power point tracks (MPPT) algorithms, new power electronic topology and modulations for GCPS, performance analysis and case studies, modeling and control of GCPS, optimal sizing of GCPS, thermal management, stability of GCPS, grid integration, fault ride-through, economic analysis, energy polices, energy management storage, intelligent metering, reliability-based design of PV systems, and economics/optimization of hybrid installations.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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. Electricity is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1200 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.
