Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recent years have seen the fast development of power system design towards high efficiency, digitalization and intelligentization by means of interconnections via cyber-based technologies. This has resulted in cyber–physical power systems, and a shift in electricity production processes and services towards new modalities, enabling innovative opportunities of increased functionality, dynamic controllability, expanded capability and improved flexibility. Their high degree of inter- and intra-connectedness enhances the systems’ smartness but also poses concerns with regard to technical failures, and natural and man-made disasters, with possible cascading effects. Risk and reliability analysis for power systems faces new challenges, and the convergence of safety, security and resilience concerns should be properly addressed.
This Special Issue will mainly focus on the topics of risk and reliability analysis for power systems and its main challenges, including, but not limited to, the following:
- Reliability modeling and optimization for power systems;
- Coping with imprecision in reliability analysis;
- Reliability and maintenance solutions in the operation of power systems (with the assistance of advanced methods);
- Artificial intelligence for reliability and availability;
- Hazard analysis, risk and resilience assessment for power systems and interdependent infrastructure systems;
- Modeling and analysis of cascading failure propagation and mitigation;
- Fault-tolerant and attack-resilient power system design;
- Solutions for climate change and extreme weather event impacts on power system risk and resilience;
- Modeling and analysis of risks in the power sector's low-carbon transition.

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.
