Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The integration of large-scale wind generation systems into the existing power grids continues to grow, as an increasing number of onshore and offshore wind farms are being installed to meet the demands of clean energy. For transmission grids in wind power systems, traditionally high-voltage AC systems have been used; however, with the flexibility and controllability that power electronic systems offer and their competitive costs, high-voltage DC (HVDC) are becoming more popular, especially as the wind farms become larger. For collector grids, which collect the power from wind turbines before sending it to an offshore/onshore substation, AC collector grids have been the primary choice of technology. However, as DC systems and their power electronic-based components gain more popularity while their cost continues to decrease, there is an interest in the use of DC systems either in medium-voltage DC (MVDC) or HVDC for collector grids. A DC collector and transmission grid system is sometimes referred to as an all-DC grid.
The purpose of this Special Issue is to provide a platform for authors and the scientific community to share their recent findings on the topics of interest, which include, but are not limited to, the following:
- All technical, societal, and environmental aspects of offshore and onshore wind power systems.
- AC and DC wind power systems design, control, analyses, and operations.
- MVDC and HVDC collector and transmission grids.
- High-voltage power electronics systems with applications in wind power systems, such as modular multilevel converters (MMC), solid-state power substations (SSPS), and high-voltage high step-up DC-DC converters.
- DC circuit breakers, and protection of DC systems.
- Addressing grid integration issues, controls, and stability.
- Application of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in wind power.
- Open dataset and data analytics for wind power operation.
- Automation aspects of wind generation systems.
We are seeking both original research as well as review papers and 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 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. Sustainability 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.
