Review Papers on Electrical Power and Energy System

Dear Colleagues,

Modern life as we know it has provided an unprecedented level of comfort and security in the history of human societies. In the beginning of the 20th century, the world began to take advantage of electric power availability as one of the main driving forces for the accelerated economic development in the ensuing decades. Since then, electric power technology has not stopped evolving. While in the past, power generation was concentrated on hydroelectric resources and on burning fossil fuels, other forms of renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power have since emerged to play a significant role in the worldwide power generation mix. This in turn is changing the electrical power grid organization into new forms such as nanogrids, microgrids, DC microgrids, autonomous, islanded, and remote networks. Furthermore, new protection and control schemes have been designed or updated to face the advent of distributed energy grids to guarantee full operation and flexibility in AC/DC microgrids. The ongoing paradigm change is also raising serious concerns with regard to cyberattacks on future smart power systems, which rely heavily on a complex communication infrastructure to optimize distributed generation resources at different levels of integration and network size.

This Collection aims to collect review papers that contribute with a renewed perspective in the area of electrical power and energy 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 collection 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. Energies 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.
