Maintaining Power System Stability in Grids with Inverter-Based Generators

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue invites original research and review articles focusing on the rapidly evolving challenge of maintaining power system stability in the face of increasing penetration of Inverter-Based Generators (IBGs). The transition from conventional synchronous generator-dominated systems to systems with a high level of IBGs introduces new dynamic behaviors, which necessitates a fundamental reassessment of traditional stability concepts and control strategies.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to,

• Impacts of IBGs on dynamics and stability of power systems;
• Grid-forming versus grid-following inverters from the perspective of system dynamics and stability;
• Impact of IBGs on power system strength and response to voltage disturbances;
• Impact of IBGs on inertia and system response to frequency disturbances;
• Impact of IBGs on damping of system oscillations;
• Control schemes for IBGs;
• Impact of IBGs on protection schemes of power systems;
• Dynamic interaction of inverters and their collective impact on system stability;
• Architecture of inverters with grid-following and grid-forming inverters;
• Methods of aggregation of inverters (single-phase or/and three-phase models) in distribution networks to simulate their collective dynamic behavior and establishing an aggregated model for connection to the network upstream.

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.
