Power Systems Stability in Smart Grid Era

Dear Colleagues,

Many power system operators around the globe have devoted extensive efforts to reduce their gas emissions and ensure their commitment toward climate change. The adoption of modern smart grid technologies, energy storage, and renewable energy resources (RERs) is among the most effective solutions for achieving a green and sustainable energy system. However, the high penetration of these non-dispatchable RERs imposes many challenges, such as stability concerns around power systems. Indeed, while many research works have attempted to address the power system stability challenges in the last few years, many questions remain unanswered, such as how power system stability can be maintained within these smart grid technologies considering both steady-state and transient stability, as well as voltage and frequency stability. In this context, novel approaches for stability enhancement should be developed for power systems in the era of smart grids. Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:

• Data-driven and machine learning approaches for predicting smart grids stability;
• Steady-state stability enhancement of smart grids;
• Transient/dynamic stability enhancement of smart grids;
• Voltage and frequency stability assessment techniques for smart grids;
• Optimal planning and operation methods of smart grid considering its stability.

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. 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.
