Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The development of microgrid technology has received widespread attention and application in various fields. Islanding microgrids such as standalone hybrid microgrids, ship and platform power systems, and airplane power systems have special dynamic responses due to the limited inertia, mixed power sources, and various types of loads. With the large-scale integration of new energy and power electronic devices, the operating characteristics of microgrids have changed. The dynamic responses of rotating electromechanical devices and power electronic devices are different and mutually affect each other, which present a high-order nonlinear process with multiple time scales. The active controllability of power electronic devices and the flexible interconnection among microgrids provide more flexible choices for system operation and control, profoundly affecting the dynamics and protections of the system. It is a challenge to improve the stability and flexibility for the operation of microgrids.
This Special Issue aims to showcase the mechanisms of the dynamic response of systems with mixed power sources, as well as the advanced control methods and protections to enhance the stability and flexibility of systems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- The transient response mechanism of hybrid microgrids;
- Grid forming/following power converter control;
- Power sharing of multi-microgrids;
- Operation mode switching of microgrids;
- Inertial control and response of power electronic systems;
- AC and DC protections in systems with mixed power sources;
- Protection-compatible converter control methods;
- Fault-tolerant control of microgrid converters;
- Coordinated protection and control of microgrids;
- Self-healing of microgrid networks.

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.
