Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are inviting submissions of original research and high-quality review articles to a Special Issue of Applied Sciences on the subject of “Control and Operation of Overlay AC and DC Systems”.
Direct current (DC) technology has been rapidly developing in the last two decades, especially new converter technology, control, power and voltage ratings, modularity, and size. The demand for DC technology has increased even more, from the distribution system to high voltage transmission, to the large and remote offshore and onshore grid. At present, it is widely believed that a complex and interconnected DC system could be constructed parallel to an AC system. There are substantial research and developments worldwide on the technologies and challenges regarding such an overlay AC and DC system. This topic needs considerable research and development in many aspects. This Special Issue aims to promote research innovation, practical case studies, and information exchanges related to key issues of such an overlay AC and DC system.

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. Applied Sciences 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.
