Over the last few years, many problems in the design, management and operation of modern power systems have attracted the attention of researchers – these systems are highly nonlinear, multivariable, and time-varying. These problems may arise from the growth of electrical networks and the high penetration of renewable energy sources in electrical systems.

Recent power systems require more complex control methods to be autonomous, intelligent, and reliable. The application of advanced, modern, and intelligent control systems is considered the primary aspect of enhancing the system's reliability and efficiency. Moreover, more attention should be paid to developing and analyzing the advanced control methods utilized in modern electrical systems, considering theoretical and practical challenging control problems.

The aim of this Special Issue is to encourage researchers to submit original research and review articles that advance intelligent control methods for electrical systems, addressing new challenges.

Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:

• Intelligent control methods for electrical systems
• Management and control of smart grids
• Stability analysis and power quality issues of weak microgrids
• AC/DC/AC-DC hybrid microgrids
• Integration of renewable energy sources
• Applications of artificial intelligence and deep learning to power systems
• Distributed energy generation and active electrical networks
• Forecasting and planning of modern electrical power systems
• Power quality issues
• Power system protection
