Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Power systems and power electronics have traditionally occupied two distinct worlds, with different dynamic characteristics and issues, dedicated analysis tools, modeling approaches, and scopes of interest. The increasing integration of renewable energy sources is currently causing these two worlds to merge, and the need to fill the gaps between them has triggered the intense involvement of both academia and industry. This Special Issue is dedicated to the aspects related to the integration of power electronics in power systems through studies, analyses, simulations, projects, experiments, and all other possible paths that can be followed to disclose the key points for the assessment of future power systems with power electronics. This Special Issue is the ideal place for works focusing on the dynamics of power systems and power electronics.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- DC–DC, AC–DC, and DC–AC converter design procedures (innovative topologies, steady-state analysis, etc.)
- Control strategies for power converters
- Conventional grid-following and emerging grid-forming control structures
- Investigation of system stability with time-domain methods (phasors, EMT) and other analytical methods (modal analysis, state-space models, transfer functions, impedance-based methods)
- Numerical methods for circuit and electromagnetic field simulations
- Characterization and modeling of power switches
- Characterization and modeling of passive components (inductors, transformers, capacitors)
These topics can be addressed from different angles and perspectives, from more element-focused studies to more system-focused analyses, from large-scale power systems to microgrids and small isolated electrical networks. All papers addressing the integration of power electronics in power systems are welcome for consideration.

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). 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.
