Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
DC power distribution systems are currently applied in many industrial applications, such as telecom, aerospace, automobile, and so on, as well as in data centres, and, more recently, in DC microgrids. In these systems, most of the units are connected to the DC buses using power converters, which play a significant role in the system dynamics.
In order to estimate the system behaviour and its stability, power converter models able to represent all of their operating conditions are required. In this Special Issue, we invite papers that describe the most recent and advanced modelling techniques for power converters in DC power distribution systems in any application field.
The topics of interest in this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Advanced small-signal modelling techniques
- Non-linear modelling techniques
- System-level perspective
- Stability analysis at system level
- Black-box modelling techniques
- Modelling techniques for bidirectional converters
- Modelling battery chargers/dischargers
- Modelling system-level control strategies applied to commercial-off-the-shelf converters
- Modelling protection strategies for power converters
- Monitoring strategies for DC distribution systems
- Modelling the effect of communication systems

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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
