Machine Learning and Data Mining Applications in Power Systems

Dear colleagues,

This Special Issue is intended as a forum for advancing research and for applying machine learning and data mining in order to facilitate the development of modern electric power systems, grids and devices, smart grids, and protection devices, as well as for developing tools for more accurate and efficient power system analysis.

Conventional signal processing is not more adequate for extracting all of the relevant information from distorted signals through filtering, estimation, and detection in order to facilitate decision making and to control actions. Machine learning algorithms, optimization techniques and efficient numerical algorithms, distributed signal processing, machine learning, data mining statistical signal detection, and estimation may help in solving contemporary challenges in modern power systems. The increased use of digital information and control technology can improve the grid’s reliability, security, and efficiency; dynamic optimization of grid operations; demand response; incorporation of demand-side resources and integration of energy-efficient resources; distribution automation; and integration of smart appliances and consumer devices. Signal processing offers the tools needed to convert measurement data to information and to transform information into actionable intelligence.

The expected outcomes will be a grid with improved situation awareness, faster and more accurate control actions to detect and isolate faults, improved assurance of power quality, and higher levels of energy efficiency.

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.
