Power Quality in the Modeling of Machines and Electrical Devices

Dear Colleagues,

We invite you to submit your original research or overview papers to this Special Issue on the “Power Quality in the Modeling of Electrical machines and devices” in Energies.

This Special Issue will deal with the effects of power quality issues in the modeling of electrical machines and drives and mitigation techniques.

With the increasing number of non-linear loads, renewable energy sources, and power electronic converters connected to the grid, new power quality challenges arise due to the injection of harmonics of the mentioned devices. Standard power network equipment such as electrical rotating machines and transformers are very sensitive to distorted waveforms, leading to malfunctioning and overheating. The mitigation of the harmonics and refining of power-quality-oriented modeling of standard power network equipment are a fundamental research line to achieve the zero net targets set by the Paris agreement. Power electronics loads and typical power quality problems such as unbalances and flicker can also have an impact on these elements, and thus, further research is required.

In this Special Issue, we welcome contributions within the general area of power quality, modeling of electrical machines, and mitigation techniques, including advanced converter controllers.

Topics include but are not limited to:

• Electrical machines and devices harmonic modelization and simulation;
• Impact of power quality on electrical machines and devices performance;
• Strategies for power quality issue mitigation;
• Advanced converter controllers with a focus on power quality;
• Impact of renewable-based generation on power quality.

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.
