MVDC Grids: Modelling, Design, Power Converters, Stability, Control and Operation

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to invite original research or review articles to our Special Issue on the topic of "MVDC Grids: Modelling, Design, Power Converters, Stability, Control and Operation" in our Energies journal.
The Medium Voltage Direct Current (MVDC) grid is a new grid concept that can be used as an additional stage of infrastructure in the electrical network between transport and distribution levels, as well as a means of supplying consumers of commercial, residential, industrial or transportation sectors, facilitating the integration of renewable energies and energy storage systems, and the supply of loads. However, new solutions are needed in the modelling, design, power converters, stability, control and operation of MVDC grids to address their challenges, and promote their development and application.
This Special Issue is aiming to present the recent advances, challenges and opportunities related to MVDC grids, and includes, but is not limited to, the following topics:

• Modelling and simulation techniques for MVDC grids
• Design of MVDC grids
• MVDC grids with renewable energy and energy storage systems
• AC/DC and DC/DC power converters for MVDC grids
• Control techniques and energy management systems for power converters and MVDC grids
• Stability of power converters and MVDC grids
• Normal operation of MVDC grids
• Fault detection and reconfiguration/restoration of MVDC grids
• Power quality of MVDC grids
• State-of-the-art reviews on MVDC 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 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.
