Sustainability in Electric and Power Systems

Dear Colleagues,

Renewable energy generation increase and carbon dioxide reduction targets have been included in global energy policies. However, the growth of renewable energy brings new technical challenges to electric power systems. Generated power depends on weather conditions, such as solar insolation and wind speed. The fluctuations in generated power influences power systems, causing the voltage and frequency of power systems to change suddenly. The power quality in power systems is thereby reduced. The control strategies and operation methods for power systems should be optimized in power systems with a high penetration of renewable energy applications. At the same time, climate change is accelerating and raw materials are being depleted. To meet the above challenges, the world is currently undergoing a radical transition towards sustainable energy.

This Special Issue of Processes, entitled Sustainability in Electric and Power Systems, will present novel challenges and the most advanced and latest research, particularly focussing on the development of and practical considerations for renewable and sustainable energy conversion and next-generation electric and power system techniques. The topics covered in this issue include, but are not limited to, ‎the following keywords.

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. Processes 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 2400 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.
