Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In modern power systems and power electronics, a certain degree of symmetry between the supply side and the load side is often essential for ensuring stable and efficient energy exchange. This Special Issue centers on the concept of “symmetry/asymmetry” as a lens to investigate the modeling, design, and control of renewable energy systems and grid-connected power electronic interfaces.
Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, wind, ocean, and solar energy systems; hydrogen energy chains (including electrolysis, storage, and reconversion); battery storage technologies; and energy-saving applications. Particular focus is given to the influence of structural, parametric, and signal-level symmetry on converter topology, modulation techniques, power quality, unbalance and fault behaviors, as well as system stability and resilience.
We also welcome contributions leveraging artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, digital twins, and data-driven approaches for predictive maintenance, anomaly detection, system optimization, and coordinated energy management. Submissions may present theoretical studies, hardware experiments, hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) validations, or field data analyses. While the topics outlined are emphasized, the scope remains open to all innovative research that contributes to the advancement of renewable energy power systems.

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. Symmetry is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
