Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Wind diesel power systems (WDPS) are isolated microgrids that combine diesel generators (DGs) with wind turbine generators (WTGs). WDPS are in many cases the result of adding WTGs to a previous existing diesel power plant located in a remote place where there is an available wind resource. By means of the WTGs supplied power, fuel consumption and CO2 emissions are reduced. WDPSs are isolated power systems with low inertia where important system frequency and voltage variations occur. WDPS dynamic modeling and simulation allows short-term simulations in order to obtain detailed electrical variables transients, so that WDPS stability and power quality can be tested. This Special Issue of Energies is a call for papers mainly on the subject of WDPS dynamic modelling and simulation that take into account factors such as WDPS operation modes simulation, the WTG type used in WDPS, or the use of energy storage systems (ESS). Papers about the sizing of the different WDPS components are also welcome.
Topics to be covered by this Special Issue include but are not limited to the following:
- Dynamic modelling of the different WDPS components;
- Simulation and control of different architectures of WDPS;
- WDPS components sizing;
- Use of different types of WTGs in WDPS (advantages and drawbacks);
- Use of ESSs (based on batteries, flywheel, ultracapacitors, etc.) and the benefits that ESSs provide to WDPS;
- WDPS power quality, stability, and reliability studies;
- Related isolated AC microgrids (those with hydro turbines, photovoltaic, ships microgrids etc.).

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.
