Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Power quality remains a familiar concept among researchers and system operators, though it regularly faces evolving challenges that require attention. The introduction of new electronic components or electric assets can potentially introduce issues that disrupt the power network. Each frequency range encompasses specific frequency components such as harmonics, interharmonics, and supraharmonics, necessitating tailored treatment. Hence, this Special Issue is dedicated to devices, measurement/generation systems, and methods/algorithms essential for measuring, analyzing, replicating, synthesizing, and mitigating power quality signals and phenomena. Detecting power quality phenomena demands suitable voltage and current sensors/transducers, which require periodic characterization. Consequently, new-generation systems/instruments are imperative for simulating power quality phenomena and evaluating sensor performance. Subsequently, specialized algorithms and signal processing methods are essential for isolating relevant components and conducting comprehensive analyses. Finally, well-known parameters are typically used to quantify power quality events. However, new ones are welcomed and sometime necessary to address emerging aspects.
This topic is strictly connected to Sensors because power quality can be addressed only using sensors, measurement systems, and measurement methods. Each of the previous are the main pillars of the journal.

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. Sensors 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.
