Dear Colleagues,

The problems of managing the operation of modern electric power systems of recent decades can be compared with the stages of growth of a child. Energy systems are becoming more autonomous, intelligent, and require less human involvement, provided that their reliability should remain high and efficiency should increase. In other words, there is an evolution of the traditional power system in the direction of a full-fledged intelligent grid, which has such properties as continuous self-monitoring of the state and self-healing of network components, deep penetration of renewable energy sources, the participation of active consumers, increased physical/cyber security and flexibility, etc. Such an intelligent transformation of power systems is largely due to the introduction of new information technologies (artificial intelligence, machine learning), the improvement of information collection and processing systems (PMU, WAMS/WAPS technologies, intelligent SCADA/EMS/DMS systems), as well as the emergence of new grid structures (hybrid AC-DC networks, integrated systems, microgrids) and adaptive control and regulation devices. The above-mentioned electric power system transformation will require a competitive approach of available principles and methods for modeling such systems, for studying their main properties, and for justifying their development and control of their operation.

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.
