Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Real-time monitoring and protection of modern power grids are paramount tasks that need to be addressed for the forthcoming generation of intelligent electronic devices (IEDs). To this end, IEDs require including newfangled algorithms and hardware capabilities, which consider entropy as valued information, with the potential to track changes under sudden changes in powers grids triggered by the presence of massive renewable energy integration interfaced by power electronic converters. In addition, the need to provide outlier-free estimates and high reporting rates is advocated by a plethora of data-driven applications that take primary importance in smart grids such as load characterization, the slow interaction of  power  electronic  converters-driven  stability,  power  quality monitoring,  harmonics,  faults’  detection  and  location,  event recognition and diagnostics, grid management, and monitoring at transmission and distribution levels. The aforementioned applications must take into account the entropy of the data to generate decision making systems.

At the system level, the reliability of such measurements supports the decision-making process, since they feed the situational awareness of transmission and distribution system operators via wide-area monitoring systems (WAMS). For instance, remedial action schemes make use of frequency and  ROCOF  measures  to  establish  load-shedding  automatic stages  by  either  over  or  low  frequency. Likewise, at the apparatus level, both hardware and software capabilities need to be imposed to challenge the paradigms, based on statistical data analysis, that here take place.

The above-mentioned problems encourage us to open an academic, research, and industrial discussion about how entropy’s principles impact many engineering applications, more specifically from instrumentation and power system perspectives.

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. Entropy is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
