Advanced Transducers and Systems for Voltage and Current Measurement

Dear Colleagues,

Voltage and current sensors and transducers are widely used in many engineering fields and, particularly, in some of the most strategic sectors of the world economy: energy and transport. In fact, in these fields, these devices are of key importance for several applications, like power system management, smart metering, energy billing, power quality assessment, phasor measurement units, renewable energy, railway system, e-mobility, electrical energy storage, etc.

With the advance of power electronics technologies, transducers have to work on a wide range of frequencies, which is posing new and unexpected problems for designers and developers to solve. To this end, research efforts are developing new technologies for voltage and current sensing or digital signal processing techniques to improve the performance of existing voltage and current transducers. In addition, the accuracy assessment of voltage and current sensors is currently a challenging aspect, especially for power applications, in the wide sense of the term, since due to their metrological characterization, accurate generation and measurement of high voltage and current values in a wide frequency range are required. Moreover, another challenging aspect for voltage and current sensing comes from the introduction of digital substations into electrical power systems, which require sensors with digital output.

This Special Issue is focused on advanced voltage and current sensing techniques, including accuracy verification, and calibration and techniques for performance improvement, for all applications in the energy and e-mobility fields.

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. Sensors 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.
