Modeling and Simulation of Power Systems and Power Electronics

Dear Colleagues,

The proliferation of distributed generation on the power grid, absorption of increasing amounts of variable renewable resources, energy storage, mixture of inertial and non-inertial generation, and increased harmonic content (to name a few) are changing the nature of the power grid. In addition, power-electronic drive systems continue to find new applications in diverse areas such as electric vehicles, ships, and aerospace technologies. Further advancement in modeling and simulation of power systems and power electronics are needed for the analysis and design of these systems and devices, over a wide range of time scales and application scenarios.

This Special Issue invites submissions that describe new or advanced modeling techniques for the analysis of power systems and power electronic converters. Relevant themes include (but are not constrained to): new numerical or modeling techniques; approaches for modeling and assessment of power quality; modeling or characterization of power devices, including electrical machinery, converters or transformers; modeling and simulation of new electrical protection approaches; prediction, analysis and control of power devices; interactions and impacts of distributed energy on the power grid; microgrids.

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.
