Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Modern power systems are increasingly reliant on microgrids as a means to integrate distributed renewable energy resources such as solar, wind, and energy storage. These microgrids enable localized generation, enhanced reliability, and improved energy efficiency. However, the growing penetration of intermittent and power electronics technology-based generation has introduced significant challenges in maintaining voltage stability, frequency regulation, fault tolerance, and overall power quality. These dynamics have necessitated advances in design, control, and protection techniques to ensure a seamless and resilient microgrid operation.
This Special Issue aims to present the latest advances in the theory, design, modeling, and application of power quality solutions in renewable energy-based microgrids.
Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Power quality issues in microgrids with high renewable energy penetration;
- Advanced modeling and simulation of microgrid dynamics;
- Voltage and frequency control methods for microgrids;
- Mitigation of harmonics, flicker, and other disturbances due to converter interfaces;
- Power quality in hybrid microgrids and multi-microgrid clusters;
- Fault detection, protection, and resilience in microgrid environments;
- Innovative energy storage and converter control for enhanced microgrid stability;
- Smart monitoring, forecasting, and optimization techniques for microgrid power quality;
- Power quality standards and testing methodologies for microgrid applications.

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.
