Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Current power systems are transitioning towards the high integration of power electronics-interfaced renewables. In the development of modern power systems, power electronics-interfaced renewable energy has become one of most dominant resources; consequently, the sharing of conventional synchronous generators has been reduced. In this context, the performances of modern and future electricity grids are affected and even determined by power converter-interfaced resources. Compared to conventional synchronous generators, interfaced power converters have different terminal characteristics in terms of their output impedance, equivalent circuit model, power-frequency/voltage characteristics and dynamic response principles. Such a transition results in the power system suffering from frequency-related inertia and stability issues as well as voltage-related problems. Thus, interfaced power converters cannot be simply and passively connected to the main grid as a pure current source, but must be responsible for traditional power generation in terms of forming and supporting grids, especially during the situation where faults or contingencies occur. For the purpose of the stability and safety of modern power systems with a high integration of renewables, the control and operation of the interfaced converters and power systems is essential.
This Special Issue aims to present and disseminate the most recent advances related to the control and operation of modern power systems to improve their safety, reliability, resilience and stability. Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to:
- Advanced control techniques of interfaced power converters;
- Advanced modelling of power electronics-dominated grids;
- Advanced simulation techniques of power electronics-dominated grids;
- Inertia estimation and support of modern power systems;
- Primary and secondary frequency control of modern electricity grids;
- Voltage profile control of modern electricity grids;
- Oscillation and resonant damping control of modern power systems;
- Protection and post-fault management of modern power systems;
- Physical and cyber safety of modern electricity grids;
- Coordination and management of integrated energy systems.

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.
