Analysis and Control of Power Systems and Microgrids

Dear Colleagues,

Because of the limited reserve of fossil fuels as well as due to their impact on the globe, renewable energy sources have been and are to become more of a concern to the research community and industry. Improving the integration of renewable energy sources in electrical power systems, as well as promoting microgrids, are key to producing affordable energy and ensuring a greener future. Nevertheless, the transition to those renewable energies comes with some technical and, therefore, economical challenges.

This Special Issue aims to present and disseminate the most recent advances related to the theory, modelling, design, application, and control of electric power systems and microgrids.

Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to:

• Sizing, sitting, and planning of renewable energy-powered microgrids and electric power systems.
• Voltage and frequency analysis in weak grid conditions.
• Related controls of V2’X’, where ‘X’ could be ‘H’ for vehicle-to-house, or vehicle-to-grid (V2G) control.
• Power to X concepts.
• Energy management systems and optimizations for multi-source microgrids.
• The impact of renewable energy resources on power system dynamics and stability.
• Electronics based-power systems.
• Electrical power system protection.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
