Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The need for the sustainable development of power systems is posing a global challenge for the energy sector. The advent of new technologies, the continously increasing trend of embedding it into electricity networs, the need for electrical networks overhauling, combined with the expansion of renewable energy integration into electric power systems and the ever-present need for new and innovative protection solutions for smart grids are significant themes for mature reflection and advanced research. This Special Issue is an ideal platform to address some of these issues, and to provide a meeting ground and visibility for engineers, respected academic professionals and innovators in these areas.
The scope of this Special Issue is to provide a significant contribution beyond the current state-of-the-art with respect to the complex issue of smart grids control and protection, with emphasis on distributed power generation systems. The solutions area ranges from power systems protection and control, HVDC, FACTS and power electronics, to smart grids, load forecasting, and energy storage. This Special Issue particularly welcomes papers that address the power system from an interdisciplinary point of view, which goes beyond the traditional approaches and analysis of single issues, and addresses instead the electrical power system in a holistic manner.

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. 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).
