Novel Developments in Distribution Systems and Microgrids, 3rd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

Distributed power generation has many characteristics, such as being clean, green, sustainable, and flexible, and has become one of the most important methods for new energy power generation. However, the integration of high-density distributed generation into the grid brings challenges to optimal configuration, operation, control, and scheduling decisions of the power system. Distribution systems and microgrid techniques can effectively improve the controllability and flexibility of high-density distributed power-grid-connected operations, as well as improve power quality and power supply stability. Therefore, the development of microgrid and distribution system techniques has become a hot research direction in the energy field.

This Special Issue aims to present and disseminate the most recent advances related to the theory, design, modeling, application, control, and condition monitoring of microgrid and distribution system techniques.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Microgrid systems with new energy.
• Dynamic economic and emission dispatch.
• Combined cooling, heating, and power systems.
• Microgrid system operation optimization.
• Operation strategy performance assessment.
• Multiobjective optimization of distribution systems and microgrids.
• Prediction of new energy power generation.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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.
