Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This call is for authors that have new, unpublished developments in any area of FACTS and HVDC technology: experience of planning and operational practices and commissioning of installations (large and small), numerical methods, algorithms and procedures that incorporate new models of FACTS and HVDC equipment. Note that although these applications areas of power electronics in electrical power systems have traditionally been associated to electrical power transmission, these are now finding increasing application in power generation and in power distribution. Paramount among these issues is offshore wind power and solar PV generation, Distributed Energy Resources (DER), flexible switching distribution centers, low-voltage DC distribution systems and high-voltage, multi-level DC transmission systems. The technology is developing rapidly and the number of installations is mushrooming worldwide, particularly where the use of voltage source converters is concerned. The objective of this special issue is to bring together a selective number of high-quality publications, which is the repository of global experiences in FACTS and HVDC technologies and to set future research directives and highlight the challenges that may lie ahead.

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.
