Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Driven by the rapid development of power electronics and flexible distribution technologies, the adoption of AC/DC hybrid connections is expected to comprehensively address the supply and demand challenges related to power sources and loads. AC/DC hybrid distributed systems offer multiple advantages, including flexible topology, diverse operation modes, coordinated AC/DC power interaction, and the efficient accommodation of various distributed energy resources and DC loads. Additionally, through energy management systems and fully controlled power conversion devices, these systems can resolve the intermittency and randomness issues associated with integrating distributed renewable energy sources, and address stability control challenges arising from multiple operation modes in hybrid AC/DC systems. Consequently, AC/DC hybrid power distribution and utilization technologies have emerged as a highly competitive direction for future development.
This Special Issue aims to develop a mechanism for establishing the dynamics response of AC/DC hybrid systems. Additionally, we seek to promote advanced control methods and protections to enhance the stability and flexibility of systems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following areas:
- The mechanism of transient response of AC/DC hybrid microgrids;
- Grid forming/following power converters control;
- Power sharing of multi-microgrids;
- Inertial control of power electronic systems;
- Coordinated protection and control of AC/DC hybrid microgrids;
- Optimal operation of AC/DC systems;
- Application of artificial intelligence in hybrid microgrid;
- Short-term or long-term power load forecasting.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. 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.
