Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The wide integration of distributed generation, storage and electric vehicles, adoption of ICT solutions, interconnection of different energy carriers and consumer engagement pose new challenges and create new opportunities. In the transition to a sustainable energy system, advanced testing methods are needed to efficiently validate power equipment and controls in an increasingly complex environment. Real-time hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulations have proven to be valuable and effective methods for validating and de-risking power system equipment in highly realistic, flexible and repeatable conditions by combining the advantages of digital simulations and hardware testing of actual equipment.
This Special Issue welcomes innovative papers dealing with recent advances in real-time HIL simulations in several areas. Of special interest are papers reporting industrial best practices of, for example, power system equipment manufacturers (HVDC/FACTS, inverters, relays, controllers, etc.), utilities (TSOs, DSOs, etc.), manufacturers of real-time simulators, amplifiers, etc.
The following topics are considered most relevant:
- Advances in HIL testing of power electronic converters;
- Advances in HIL testing of power system protection;
- Advances in HIL testing of smart grid/microgrid controllers, energy management systems, wide area protection and control;
- Apparatus modeling for real-time simulation and model validation;
- Interfacing methods of PHIL and CHIL simulations—improvement of stability and accuracy;
- HIL cosimulation, cyber-security and cyber-physical energy systems;
- Geographically distributed HIL and real-time simulator coupling/challenges;
- Mechanical, multiphysics and multidomain HIL simulations;
- HIL in standardized testing and standardization of HILs;
- Industrial experiences in all the above areas.

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.
