Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The current energy arena is changing, from fossil fuel-based generation to power electronic converter interfaced renewable generation. This transition imposes new challenges on power system operation and control. Paramount among these are inertia and governor droop requirements as synchronous generator-based power plants are replacing with converter-interfaced generators. Thus, faster dynamics and larger frequency oscillations occur, making power grid more sensitive to frequency events (i.e., any mismatch in the supply−demand balance) and jeopardizes system stability. To mitigate potential stability issues and increase the resilience of low-inertia grids, new ancillary services (e.g., synthetic inertia emulators and energy storage systems) are required.
The main aim of this Special Issue is to seek high-quality submissions that address technical challenges arising from the large-scale penetration of converter-interfaced generation via microgrid and system levels, in addition to highlighting recent breakthroughs in the control of power electronic converters and in energy storage systems. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Renewable energy applications (wind, photovoltaic, and fuel cell)
- Microgrid modeling and stability analysis
- Distributed generation technologies
- Smart grid and technologies
- Power converters and advanced control 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. Electronics 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.
