Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Traditionally, transmission and distribution systems have been analyzed separately, and this continues to be the predominant practice. Furthermore, if balance is assumed, transmission is analyzed as a single phase, and substations and secondary distribution are rarely included in this analysis. There is an ever-increasing number of renewable generators being installed on secondary distribution systems, where conductors have very different electrical characteristics than those of primary distribution. These renewable generators can, and in some cases do, cause a reverse power flow from distribution toward transmission. With unbalanced generation at the distribution level, and sometimes unbalanced voltage delivery in transmission due to non-transposed lines, the use of an unbalanced, three-phase transmission model is required for accuracy. The incorporation of DERs at the distribution level is creating the need for integrated transmission and distribution analysis.
Topics of interest in this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Modeling and analysis of balanced and unbalanced transmission systems, substations, primary distribution, and secondary distribution together;
- Computational methods for solving integrated transmission and distribution system models, including comparisons of computational approaches as to scalability, robustness, and speed of convergence;
- Uses of integrated transmission and distribution system models in:
- Energy independence studies;
- Energy trading studies;
- Real-time monitoring and control;
- Voltage stability analysis;
- Abnormality detection;
- Cloud-computing applications.

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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. Sci is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1200 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.
