Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are inviting submissions to a Special Issue of Energies, titled “Advanced Grid Integration with Power Electronics: 2nd Edition”. As microgrids and advanced power electronics become integral components of future electric grids, their widespread deployment brings both unprecedented opportunities and complex challenges. The active integration of renewable energy resources, intelligent demand-side participation, and flexible energy management are transforming microgrids into a cornerstone of resilient, efficient, and sustainable energy systems. Power electronics play a critical role in enabling controllability, efficiency, and dynamic flexibility, supporting the seamless interfacing of diverse energy sources and storage. Meanwhile, the adoption of artificial intelligence and modern control theory opens new possibilities for autonomous operation, system-level optimization, predictive decision-making, and robust performance under uncertainty. In this Special Issue, we invite novel high-quality research paper submissions covering a wide range of topics and that provide new insights for the microgrid and power electronics technologies. Topics of interest include but are not limited to
- Advanced power electronic converters and emerging technologies;
- Grid-forming and grid-following inverter strategies;
- Power quality improvement using power electronics;
- Protection and fault management for converter-based systems;
- Design, planning, and operation of microgrids;
- Renewable energy integration and utilization in microgrids;
- Stability, resilience, and black start operation of microgrids;
- Decentralized and adaptive control for microgrid synchronization;
- AI-enhanced control: deep learning, reinforcement learning, and system identification;
- Predictive control and time-delay mitigation in power systems;
- Optimization and management of distributed energy resources (DERs);
- Modeling, simulation, and data-driven approaches for control and stability.
We welcome original research articles and comprehensive reviews that provide new insights and advance the understanding of microgrids as a key modality for next-generation electric grids.

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.
