Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Energies invites submissions to Special Issues on the complex dynamics of energy flow in the power grid with high penetration of grid-connected inverter-based renewable energy resources.
As the electric power landscape evolves with increased integration of IBRs and operational uncertainties, the unexpected tripping of low ride-through capability resources (e.g., small-sized synchronous generators or legacy rotary machine-based DERs) or the activation of Remedial Action Schemes (RAS) such as rolling blackout or load shedding, could increase over time. Unlike legacy rotary machine-based synchronous resources (RMRs), IBRs do not provide the same current injection level during disturbances. This leads to complex voltage transients in systems heavily weighted towards inverters, potentially developing into severe cascading events.
The growing, dynamic uncertainty and complexity demand more sophisticated analytics and complex requirements, raising additional technical barriers to system operation and IBR integration.
This Special Issue is dedicated to new thoughts and ideas to overcome these barriers. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Reports or reviews on sub-synchronous resonance and oscillations associated with renewable energies and large storage systems;
- Models of complex dynamics in non-linear, non-Newtonian multi-physics systems;
- Machine learning and artificial intelligence applications;
- Measurement, instrumentation, state estimation, and signal detection of complex systems;
- New ideas for adaptive protection systems with setting groups and devices to address complex transients under variable and intermittent operation conditions.
Submissions of unconventional but related research from interdisciplinary areas such as physics, mathematics, machine learning, computer science, and other science and engineering fields are encouraged. Novel and innovative ideas without intensive empirical validation are welcome and will be fully evaluated. All submissions must be original.
The Energies Editorial Office will waive some publication fees to encourage contributions to these important topics.

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. Energies 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 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.
