Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The global transition toward low-carbon energy has led to a rapid increase in the penetration of renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar power, into power systems. These resources are typically interfaced to the grid through power electronic converters, which fundamentally alter the dynamic characteristics and operational behavior of modern power systems. As the proportion of power electronic-interfaced generation continues to grow, traditional assumptions regarding system inertia, damping, and stability no longer hold, posing significant challenges for secure and efficient power system operation. This Special Issue aims to provide a platform for researchers and practitioners to present the latest advances in the modeling, analysis, control, and optimization of power systems with high shares of power electronics. Topics of interest include both theoretical developments and practical implementations, covering small-signal and large-signal stability, frequency and voltage control, the coordinated operation of diverse converter-based resources, and grid-forming control strategies.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Modeling and stability analysis of power electronic-dominated power systems;
- Grid-forming and grid-following control strategies and their impact on system dynamics;
- Multi-timescale stability: transient, small-signal, and long-term stability;
- Coordinated control and optimization of inverter-based resources (IBRs);
- Interaction between power electronic devices and synchronous machines;
- Advanced frequency and voltage control in low-inertia systems;
- Stability assessment and control of hybrid AC/DC systems with VSC-HVDC;
- Data-driven and AI-based approaches for stability prediction and operation optimization;
- Cyber–physical security and resilience of power electronic-dominated power systems;
- Stability analysis and control for the AC/DC microgrid.

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.
