Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Under the guidance of the "dual carbon" goals, the penetration rates of clean energy and power electronics equipment in each link of the "source–grid–load–storage" system have been continuously increasing, and the power-electronic characteristics of the distribution network have become more prominent. To meet the requirements of the distribution network for the accommodation of large-scale distributed new energy sources and the reliable supply of loads, the traditional distribution network is evolving towards an advanced network form of a power-electrified flexible distribution system. Power electronics equipment in the distribution network possesses various advantages such as flexible control, rapid response, and great regulation potential, and it has become an important means to support the efficient accommodation of new energy in the distribution network, ensure its safe and stable operation, and improve the power supply quality. However, the existing distribution network still faces challenges such as a lack of equipment coordination ability, poor flexible dispatching ability, low power supply reliability, weak operation stability, and poor power supply quality.
This Special Issue aims to discuss and showcase the latest research progress in the operation control technologies for the efficient, high-quality, and highly stable operation of flexible distribution networks, providing references for relevant researchers.
- Efficient optimal dispatching of distribution networks.
- Power quality management of distribution networks.

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.
