Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Power systems are some of the most critical infrastructures in modern society; however, recent years have seen many blackouts caused by extreme events, including natural disasters and man-made attacks (e.g., the Texas freeze, Indian heatwaves, and terrorist attacks). With an increasing awareness of such threats, the resilience and security of modern power systems are receiving an increasing amount of attention, which focuses on the ability of power systems to prepare for and adapt to changing conditions as well as withstand and recover rapidly from disruptions. In the meantime, with the high penetration of renewable energy, the way power systems operate is more complex and variable, posing great challenges to the resilience and security of modern power systems. Therefore, to mitigate the damage caused by extreme events and ensure the safe and reliable operation of power systems, it is of great significance to explore key technologies (such as resilience evaluation methods and resilience improvement methods) under the complex influence of extreme events and high renewable penetration. This Special Issue aims to address these challenges and key technologies for improving the resilience of power systems. Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Evaluation methods for power system resilience;
- Vulnerability modelling of power systems under extreme events or high renewable penetration;
- Resilient operation and control of power systems;
- Recovery and restoration strategies for resilience enhancement;
- Planning of resilient power systems;
- Resilience of power systems with high renewable penetration;
- Resilience of hybrid AC/DC power systems;
- Resilience of multienergy systems/integrated energy systems;
- Resilience of cyber–physical systems;
- Big data and artificial intelligence approaches for resilience enhancement.

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. Energies 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 2600 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.
