Dynamic Thermal Rating System for Sustainable Electrical Power Systems

Dear Colleagues,

The dynamic thermal rating (DTR) system can safely determine the thermal limits of power components on the basis of environmental conditions. Studies have shown that the DTR system can provide ratings that are higher than the traditional static thermal rating (STR) 80% to 90% of the time; for 50% of the time, DTR is 15% to 30% higher than STR. Hence, the benefits and applications of the DTR system are promising, but lacking in coverage by research journal articles. Therefore, the setting of this Special Issue is timely and all prospective authors with a special interest in the research of the DTR system are highly encouraged to contribute to this Special Issue. The topics covered in this Special Issue are as follows:

• Applications of the DTR system in power systems;
• Thermal behaviour of line conductors (overhead lines and underground cables);
• Cyber network of the DTR system;
• Integration of the DTR system with other smart grid technologies;
• Reliability modelling of the DTR system;
• Forecasting of DTR;
• The dynamic effects of the DTR system;
• Line rating technologies (sensors, systems, etc.);
• Probabilistic line rating;
• Fuzzy DTR system;
• Data management of DTR system.

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.
