Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The reliability and sustainability of modern power systems are critical, especially for infrastructure power systems. For example, a power grid is defined as strategic infrastructure where faults and an unsustainable power supply may have a negative economic, functional, and defensive impact on the whole country or its areas.
The reliability and sustainability of power systems can be affected by several aspects. The first is the constantly increasing integration of renewable energy sources and distributed generation, increasing the risk of short circuits and over-voltages. These faults can cause significant damage to the power system. Therefore, it is important to develop modern protection methods and devices. The second aspect is cyber security. Cyber-attacks can cause confusion in the power grid’s information systems as well as blackouts.
The aim of this Special Issue is to bring together original, theoretical, and practical ideas, in the hope of developing future trends in the fields of power system reliability and sustainability. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- New approaches for reliable power system planning and operation.
- Renewable energy resources integration.
- Reliability evaluation in electric vehicles, power stations/substations, and energy storage systems.
- New energy storage technologies in power systems.
- Reliable BMS operation.
- Reliable converter.
- Fault current limiters—topologies and control methods.
- Digital protection methods.
- Circuit breakers.
- Relays.
- Phasor measurement units.
- Protection challenges under renewable energy penetration.
- Cyber protection.
- Implementation of artificial intelligence for reliability improvement.

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. Sustainability 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.
