Topical Collection Information

Dear Colleagues,

We are inviting submissions to the Energies Topical Collection on “Electrical Power and Energy System: From Professors to Students.”

An electric power system is a network of electrical components deployed to supply, transfer, and use electric power. An example of a power system is the electrical grid that provides power to homes and industry within an extended area. The electrical grid can be broadly divided into the generators that supply the power, the transmission system that carries the power from the generating centers to the load centers, and the distribution system that feeds the power to nearby homes and industries.

This Topical Collection is focused on key advances in the generation, transmission, distribution, and conversion of electrical energy systems. Original submissions concerning the modeling, analysis, optimization, and control of advanced electric power and energy systems, grid-connected power electronics converters, and renewable energy production and integration are of particular interest in this Topical Collection. The collection will include, but is not be limited to:

  1. Power Generation, Transmission, and Distribution
    • Conventional and renewable power generation
    • Transmission systems
    • Distribution systems, automation and control
    • Energy efficiency
    • Renewable energy technologies and system
    • Smart Grid
    • Electric vehicles and charging networks
    • Power system control
    • Demand Response
  2. Power System Management
    • Power system development and economics
    • Power system operation, planning, and control
    • Power system environmental performance
    • Electricity markets and regulation
    • Load modelling, estimation, and forecast
  3. Electrical Machines
    • Power electronics
    • Electrical machines and drives
    • Power transformers and reactors
    • Design of electrical machines for sustainable energy applications

The target audience of this Topical Collection includes academicians, specialists, researchers, and professionals who are working and interested in the field of electrical power and energy systems.

Submit your paper and select the Journal “Energies” and the Collection “Electrical Power and Energy System: From Professors to Students” via: https://susy.mdpi.com/user/manuscripts/upload?journal=energies. Please contact the collection editor or the journal editor ([email protected]) for any queries. Our papers will be published on a rolling basis and we will be pleased to receive your submission once you have finished it.

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 papers will be peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the collection 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 2000 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.

This paper presents a straightforward step-by-step procedure to design salient-pole synchronous generators, starting with its main specifications and finishing with all necessary data to put it on production. As most of the electricity is generated by synchronous generators, the design of these machines remains an interesting subject, but, although it is important, it is difficult to find a complete step-by-step procedure in the literature. The proposed procedure can be followed by an electrical engineer or student and, distinctively from most papers and books, all steps are presented. Such a procedure is based on analytic calculations, eventually relying on finite element simulation to verify if everything is all right and to adjust some design parameters. All calculations have been chosen to keep the design as simple as possible; otherwise, it would not be possible to present all steps and procedures. Therefore, it can be used for beginners in the art of design-synchronous generators, applied to obtain an initial design, or be adopted by any electrical engineering course, not only aiming to be an introductory electrical machine design course but mainly to enhance the students’ comprehension of synchronous machines. The results have been compared with finite element simulation, presenting very small differences. Full article
