Advanced Control Applications for Electrical Energy Systems

Dear Colleagues,

In this issue, we would like to focus on advanced control schemes for various applications in the Electrical Energy Systems area. Control systems are an essential aspect of these systems that have enabled the proliferation of power electronics systems to these applications. Whether the control system is managing a wind generation system, grid-connected battery, or speed control objective for an induction motor, control and observation schemes are critical for systems to meet their function and efficiency specifications. For this issue, we seek advanced control schemes that allow for superior performance over traditional cascaded linear feedback control schemes that industries have relied on for decades. Through advanced control, superior performance is obtained in the presence of uncertainty and nonlinearity that exists in various electrical energy systems. We will also consider the utilization of observation schemes to facilitate sensor-less control schemes, similar to those present in the electric machine control area.

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.
