Power Development and Power Generation in Era of Decarbonization

Dear Colleagues,

The ongoing energy transformation is leading not only to the diversification of generation sources, in particular an increase in the share of renewable sources in electricity production, but also to the requirements of consumers regarding, for example, the precise measurement of power consumption and energy consumption. Some consumers are also becoming energy producers. These changes not only increase energy awareness, but also pose a challenge both to the network itself and to new tasks for measuring and monitoring devices.

It is important to consider the above changes regarding the decentralization of production systems, potential problems related to the maintenance of quality parameters, as well as the development of measurement and control systems for the monitoring, analysis and control of the operation of receivers as well as information exchange between devices and systems—issues that may affect the stability of power grid operation.

The topics related to power development and power generation and the subject of this Special Issue include, but are not limited to:

- Microgrids and energy clusters;

- Virtual power plants;

- The impact of electromobility on the demand of electricity;

- Managing the flow of energy and information between energy consumers and producers;

- Automation of processes carried out by distribution network operators (e.g., voltage or reactive power regulation);

- Management of power consumption by recipients in order to minimize transmission losses;

- Monitoring and modeling of energy flow between generating units and consumers;

- Control of the operation of energy storage;

- Low-emission power plants.

The above-mentioned topics do not exhaust the challenges associated with changing the operation of power grids to smart grids, and only indicate the directions of development of electrical and electronic models, devices and systems that are able to meet the current requirements in this regard.

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.
