Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
DC microgrids can operate in an island mode to support local energy consumption or a grid-tied mode that makes it interactive with a large power system. The convenience of installation and the subsequent common existence of DC microgrids enable the integration of various sources and loads, including but not limited to photovoltaic generation, wind turbines, battery energy storage systems, and electric vehicles. This increasing diversity, whilst potentially capable of improving the performance of microgrids and the external power systems they connect to, poses a significant challenge to planning, operation, management, monitoring, study, etc.
As a new paradigm of the power grid, the architecture design, system operation, device maintenance, and fault diagnosis of DC microgrids remain to be resolved. This Special Issue is, therefore, focused on emerging technologies and aims to seek high-quality submissions that address recent breakthroughs in DC microgrids. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Application of artificial intelligence;
- Control, planning, and operations;
- Energy management and multi-energy complement;
- Fault diagnosis, warning, and situational awareness;
- Hardware-in-loop testing and digital twins;
- Interaction of microgrids with power systems;
- Modelling, analysis, and design;
- New energy sources and storage technologies;
- Power quality enhancement;
- Protection strategies;
- Stability analysis of microgrids;
- Stationary and mobile microgrids.

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.
