Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The concepts of sustainability need to be addressed along with the understanding that sustainable development is not about certificates or awards, but instead it is about the vitality of life on Earth. Future needs for sustainable development are likely to include a change in human values through education, and an industrial metabolism shift through responsible practical actions. A sustainable industrial metabolism, integrating technical and ecological aspects is one of the greatest challenges of humanity within the present industrial world. In line with this idea, the performance of sustainable electrical processes, systems, and devices should be addressed. Research articles focusing on sustainability in electrical engineering and related topics are welcome for this Special Issue.

This Special Issue contains extended versions of best papers from the conference: 24th International Conference on Circuits, Systems, Communications and Computers, CSCC 2020, Chania, Crete Island, Greece, July 19-22, 2020, http://www.cscc.co.

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.

For the planning of the guaranteed power grid, only the operation capacity of the target grid is considered. The recovery process and steps of the backbone grid are not considered enough, which leads to two defects: the minimum guaranteed power grid is not conducive to the unit recovery and the recovery time is too long. In this paper, a method of constructing the grid with the specific recovery process is proposed. Considering the influence of the grid structure and the position of the black start power supply on the recovery steps, the recovery success rate and the recovery time of the grid, the optimization of the grid structure of the guaranteed grid can meet the demand of power supply and at the same time make the recovery of the target grid less time-consuming and achieve a higher recovery success rate in the event of a blackout. In this method, two aspects are considered: the power failure recovery scenario in the recovery process of the target grid and the normal power supply scenario, reflecting the power supply performance after the recovery of the target grid. In the normal power supply scenario, a three-objective optimization model including power supply capacity, smooth transmission and safety margin is constructed, with power supply capacity and safe operation as constraints. In the scenario of power failure recovery, the process of power grid recovery and the mechanism affecting the success of recovery are analyzed to form the line recovery index. The Dijkstra algorithm is used to search for the optimal recovery path and calculate the recovery index, so as to reoptimize the backbone power grid. The validity of the method is verified by standard and practical examples. Full article
