Electromagnetic Compatibility in Power Systems and Smart Cities

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, innovations like renewable energy sources (RES), distributed generation, intelligent and sustainable transport, and the internet of things (IoT) have started to produce a change of paradigm that is destined to persist in the coming decades. Power systems and urban environments are shifting toward smarter, data-driven, dynamic, and highly integrated solutions recognizable under the broad classifications known as smart grids and smart cities. Issues related to electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) are a well-known topic that every system should overcome during each development stage and technology readiness level (TRL). For this reason, many regulations and design guidelines have been published and are expected to be updated by the most important engineering bodies.

This Special Issue proposes to collect advancements related to electromagnetic pollution computation, estimation, and measurement due to (but not limited to) overhead power lines, over- and underground cables, electric vehicle (EV) charging stations (including wireless charging systems), electrical mass transit systems, RES electronic power converters, energy storage systems (ESS), electric machines, and plants in general. Further, relevant topics could be the evaluation approaches, detection processes, the mitigation of electromagnetic interference (EMI), as well as high- and low-frequency fields exposure in pipelines, vehicle and transportation systems, and sensing and communication networks.

Scholars, academic scientists, researchers, Ph.D. students, and professional groups are invited to submit original contributions, including post-conference papers, supported by numerical and/or experimental validation concerning these subjects.

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.
