Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The number of interconnected PV systems on the grid has been growing steadily in recent years. The contribution to low carbon electricity generation is desirable; however, the influx necessitates determination of its impact on the power quality of distribution networks. Issues such as voltage profile variation and harmonic distortion have been identified. A further understanding of potential issues and the influence on the network power quality is thus necessary.
This Special Issue welcomes original theoretical and practical contributions along with review papers on various aspects of power quality related to grid-connected PV systems. Topics include but are not limited to:
- Representation of power quality characteristics in PV system software models;
- Improved power converter topologies and modulation strategies for mitigation of power quality issues;
- Advanced PV system control structures and their tuning for mitigation of power quality effects;
- Impact on distribution networks’ power quality indicators from the integration of PV systems;
- Effect of network connection and capacity on the interaction of PV systems with the network;
- Integrated PV and energy storage systems and their impact on the voltage profile variation;
- Monitoring and analysis of power quality effects arising from grid-connected PV systems;
- Advanced measurements and signal processing techniques to detect power quality in the presence of PV systems;
- Electromagnetic interference in PV systems.

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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
