Resilience Metrics Development for Power Systems

Dear Colleagues,

The purpose of this Special Issue is to study metrics that could be used for quantifying the resiliency of power systems. Additionally, another purpose of this Special Issue is to determine how such metrics would be calculated for which systems under what conditions. Distribution and transmission infrastructures expanded over a wide geographic area are always affected by continuously occurring weather-related disasters. Therefore, a safe and reliable operation is essential for the obtainment of resilient power systems able to survive in hard conditions. Metrics to be investigated in this Special Issue are to be quantitative and defined based on the topology, hardware, and efficiency of the systems, reliability indices, and also the type and severity of threats. The accurate assessment of each of these metrics could help to properly understand the concept of resilience in power systems. Additionally, another aim of this Special Issue is to obtain an appropriate assessment of power network resilience by selecting an appropriate set of these metrics according to the type of threat and goal.

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. Electronics 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.
