Control of Power Quality and System Stability

Dear Colleagues,

We are inviting researchers to make submissions to this Special Issue of Electronics on the subject area of “Control of Power Quality and System Stability”.

With the integration of many new energy sources into power systems, the number of power electronic equipment in the power system is quickly increasing. However, due to the complex control and nonlinear switching processes of power electronic equipment, many new power quality and stability issues have emerged, such as voltage/current distortions, harmonic oscillations under a wide frequency range, and so on. These issues may cause equipment damage and protection tripping, further deteriorating the safety and reliability of power systems. Therefore, this Special Issue focuses on the studies of advanced control methods at the equipment and system levels to improve the power quality and stability of high-proportion power electronic equipment power systems. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

1. Disturbance source localization and oscillation type identification;
2. Modeling and stability analysis of high-proportion power electronic equipment power systems;
3. New designs for power quality compensators based on wideband semiconductors;
4. Customized design of compensator controllers, including damping, inertia, harmonic and reactive power compensation, etc.;
5. Grid-forming control;
6. Optimization control, dispatch, and planning of all kinds of compensators;
7. Advanced artificial intelligence (AI) methods in the control of power quality and system stability;
8. Large-scale real-time simulation technology.

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.
