Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Solar photovoltaic (PV) systems are considered as the most popular renewable energy source, and the grid integration of solar PV units is increasing. This grid integration is mainly dominated by power electronic interfaces, which provide several challenges such as the optimal sizing, power quality, control, stability, dynamic interactions, and so on. The modeling, optimization, and topology of power electronic interfaces play a key role in solving these challenges. Therefore, it is timely to investigate approaches and solutions to overcome these challenges associated with the advances in grid-connected PV systems. This Special Issue will cover (but will not be limited to) the following major topics:
- Feasibility studies for grid-connected PV systems;
- Advances in optimization schemes for the sizing and cost-effective grid integration of PV systems;
- Advances in modeling grid-connected PV systems (both single and multiple units);
- Advanced DC–DC and DC–AC converter topologies for grid-connected PV systems;
- Control and stability analysis approaches for grid-connected PV systems;
- Advances in power quality analysis techniques for grid-connected power systems.
This Special Issue solicits both original theoretical and practical contributions including review papers on the state of the art in the advancement of grid-connected PV systems. We would like to cordially invite you to contribute to this Special Issue.

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.
