Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
A constant increase in renewable energy deployments and nonconventional technology has changed the operation paradigms of power systems. Bilateral power flows, fault contribution of distributed generators, and the unknown fault behavior of new equipment call for fundamental changes in protection approaches. Innovative ideas are required to come up with new protection coordination solutions. Extensive communication solutions are deployed to increase monitoring capability, while data analysis techniques can be utilized to process a large amount of data. Edge computing can be utilized to decrease the burden on centralized coordination schemes, while novel optimization algorithms can be implemented to create better-performing systems. This Special Issue is aimed at covering different aspects of ground-breaking protection system designs to achieve deep penetration of renewable and clean energy systems. In this regard, papers are solicited in, among others, the following topics:
- Advanced communication solutions between protection equipment;
- Novel implementation of nature inspired algorithms for protection coordination;
- Power electronics design and control for improving fault behavior of inverters;
- Standardized communication solutions for interoperability, such as IEC61850 and IEEE 1547;
- Cybersecurity considerations to ensure proper operation;
- Edge-computing-based solutions for intelligent protection.

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. Sustainability 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 2400 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.
