Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are inviting submissions to a Special Issue of Electronics entitled Recent Advances in Distributed Power Generation Systems. The renewed interest in distributed generation shown by the utilities industry has paved the way for more advances in smart grids. With the increased awareness of environmental aspects, the advances in distributed power generation have been rapid and the expected growth will continue in the coming years. Decentralized and distributed power generation has started to replace conventional power plants by reducing the burden on transmission systems, causing a shift towards a new paradigm in the form of intelligent distribution grids that could also be referred to as smart grids. The increase in distributed generators in the form of combined heat power (CHP), fuel cells, wind energy, solar energy, micro combined heat and power, microturbines, PV systems (typically rooftop solar PV), and plug-in electric vehicles has increased the local share of electricity in the form of domestically produced energy apart from utility-based distributed generators. The benefits associated with the recent advances in distributed generators has always been great and has enhanced the overall efficiency of the power system by bringing out an evolution in smart and sustainable grids. Indeed, the enhanced penetration levels of the distribution power generation system also poses many challenges, leading to new difficulties like stability, voltage control, reverse power flow, power quality issues, etc. Novel and innovative solutions are required to address the recent advances in distributed generators and their impacts on the power system network. The stochastic nature of wind- and PV-based distributed generators adds more complexity to the security and reliability of the system. Such a situation calls for an adequate control methodology, energy, demand side management, planning, and operations for addressing the challenges of and recent advances in distributed generators. This Special Issue aims to address any topics pertaining to Recent Advances in Distributed Power Generation Systems.

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.
