Electric Power Systems Research 2017

Dear Colleagues,

People request that power grid utilities deliver electric power in a stable, reliable, secure, and sustainable manner, from the generation system through transmission and distribution systems to end-users. Consequently, the development of advanced technologies and novel methods applied to the modern power system is crucial. Especially, distributed generation resources, energy storage system, advanced control, demand response program, power market, and power quality are addressed in a modern power system.

“Electric Power Systems Research” is a Special Issue in Energies for those who would like to publish original papers about the generation, transmission, distribution and utilization of electrical energy. This Special Issue aims at presenting important results of work in power systems. The works can be applied research, development of new procedures or components, original application of existing knowledge or new design approaches.

Papers in the relevant area of “Electric Power Systems Research”, including but not limited to, the following are invited:

1. power system stability
2. power system reliability
3. facts applied to power systems
4. power system optimization
5. intelligent methods applied to power system studies
6. power market and demand response program
7. control, operation and planning of distributed generation resources
8. smart community with energy management systems
9. microgrid and virtual power plant
10. active distribution network
11. harmonics/voltage power quality

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
