Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
A microgrid is a power supply system composed of distributed energy resources, electrical loads, and an energy management system, and is capable of achieving an internal balance of power and energy. Compared with the traditional large-scale power grid, where electric energy is transmitted unidirectionally from power plants through transmission lines to end users, microgrids adopt a bidirectional interaction model, enabling local generation and consumption. This approach maximizes the efficiency of distributed energy utilization and has a positive impact on environmental protection and economic performance. Depending on their functions, operating modes, and application scenarios, microgrids can be classified into various types, with each designed to meet specific requirements. With the continuous development of microgrid technology, microgrids have become an integral part of the emerging modern power system. As a result, research on microgrids has attracted enhanced attention in recent years.
This Special Issue aims to introduce and disseminate recent advancements related to microgrids, including theoretical modeling, the design of control strategies, stability analysis, and operational planning.
The scope of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, the following topics:
- Modelling methods and stability analysis of microgrids;
- Power system planning and modelling;
- Planning and optimal operation of electric vehicle charging stations;
- Stability and economic analysis of active distribution networks;
- Coupled operation of integrated energy systems;
- Theoretical modelling of power electronic converters;
- Stability analysis methods for grid-connected distributed energy resources;
- Energy management technologies for microgrids;
- Stability control methods for interconnected microgrids;
- Clustered microgrids formed by the interconnection of distributed energy resources.

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.
