Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Guest Editor is inviting submissions to a Special Issue of Energies on the subject area of “Multiterminal HVDC Systems”.
HVDC transmission technology has taken a quantum leap in its development, particularly, since the adoption of voltage source converters, at the turn of the millennium. The number of installations around the world are increasing rapidly, and its areas of applicability have multiplied. Nevertheless, for HVDC technology to move into a higher gear, it should offer the multiterminal HVDC option. This has been a fertile area of research worldwide for the past 10 years, and a three-terminal installation exists in China. Nonetheless, plenty of engineering and technology development is still required before multiterminal VSC–HVDC becomes a global reality.
The objective of this Special Issue is to bring together a compact number of high-quality publications, which is the repository of global experiences in multiterminal HVDC technology, whilst setting future research directives and highlighting the challenges that may lie ahead.
Topics of interest for publication include but are not limited to:
- Modeling and simulation of MT–HVDC systems in connection with wind power, solar power, and wave power.
- Advances in the development of DC protection equipment.
- Description of new applications of MT–HVDC in low-voltage power distribution.
- Experience of planning and operational practices and commissioning of MT–HVDC installations.

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.
