State-of-the-Art Energy-Related Technologies in Australia 2023–2024

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to present this Special Issue “State-of-the-Art Energy-Related Technologies in Australia 2023–2024”. For this Special Issue, we are inviting researchers and experts in power engineering from both academia and industry to discuss and share ideas, present results, reflect on past experiences, and discuss future projects.

The scope of this Special Issue is to publish and publicise recent and original research, practice, and educational developments in power engineering from Australian electricity supply industries and universities.

This Special Issue will provide a comprehensive overview of state-of-the-art energy-related technologies in Australia. We welcome research articles and reviews that will contribute to providing a consolidated, up-to-date perspective surrounding energy-related areas. Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:

• Computer-aided analysis of power systems
• Distribution, planning, and operation
• Energy management
• Electric vehicles
• Harmonics and quality of power supply
• Insulation coordination
• Intelligent control of power systems
• Load and frequency control
• Machines, AC and DC drives
• Power electronics
• Power engineering education
• Power protection systems
• Power system stability
• Power systems modelling
• Reactive power and voltage control
• Renewable and distributed generation
• Smart grids
• Large-scale battery storage: Australian experience
• Remote and isolated power systems with high renewable energy penetration
• Security of power systems with low inertia
• Life cycle analysis
• LCOE
• Low-emissions technologies
• Emission intensity
• Green hydrogen
• Blue hydrogen
• Biofuels
• Co-firing
• Negative emissions
• Carbon capture and storage
• BECCS
• Clean energy pathways
• Net-zero emissions
• Battery and renewable energy system integration in residential and utility applications
• Hybrid energy storage systems and power electronics
• Hybrid and meshed AC/DC electricity grids
• Interactions between power systems and power electronics converters
• Transportation electrification and electric vehicle integration
• RT control of integrated, transactive, and physical grids
• Medium- and high-voltage DC (MVDC and HVDC) systems
• Digital twins and network models for real-time simulation and operation
• AC and DC microgrids for remote areas

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.
