IEEE Transactions on Power Systems
IEEE Transactions on Power Systems
Impact Factor: 6.5
The mission of the IEEE Transactions on Power Systems is to serve the whole Power System community, including researchers, practitioners, educators and students, by publishing and disseminating insightful research results of lasting value.
Scope:
IEEE Transactions on Power Systems (TPWRS) welcomes papers on the education, analysis, operation, planning, and economics of electric generation, transmission, and distribution systems for general industrial, commercial, public, and domestic consumption, including the interaction with multi-energy carriers. The focus of TPWRS is the power system from a systems viewpoint instead of components of the system. It has five (5) key areas within its scope including:
- Power System Analysis, Computing, and Economics,
- Power System Dynamic Performance,
- Power System Operations,
- Power System Planning and Implementation,
- Power Engineering Education.
TPWRS’s editorial philosophy is to promote research, innovation, and exchange for the power engineering community. We believe the purpose of paper review and publication is to stimulate further development or applications by others. Therefore, if a paper has adequate contributions, is technically sound, and does not mislead readers, it deserves a chance for publication by TPWRS. We are working to make the review processes as clear and as fair as possible, improving the experiences for both authors and reviewers.

Peer Review
The articles in this journal are peer reviewed in accordance with the requirements set forth in the IEEE Publication Services and Products Board Operations Manual (https://pspb.ieee.org/images/files/files/opsmanual.pdf). Each published article was reviewed by a minimum of two independent reviewers using a single-anonymous peer review process, where the identities of the reviewers are not known to the authors, but the reviewers know the identities of the authors. Articles will be screened for plagiarism before acceptance.
About resubmission of a rejected paper
Rejected papers should not be resubmitted without being substantially revised. After revision, rejected papers can be resubmitted no sooner than 3 months after the date of the rejection. A resubmitted paper will be treated as new submission and must adhere to the same page limit as any other newly submitted paper. If the paper is rejected for the second time, the paper cannot be resubmitted any more even if further modified. The authors must also indicate in the letter to the editor how the paper has been modified. Since the resubmitted paper is not treated as a revision, the authors should not include a separate document in which they address the comments of the reviewers. All modifications should be briefly stated in the letter to the editor. If the paper was rejected from one of the PES journals and the authors have revised the paper and resubmit it to another PES journal they must also indicate in the letter to the editor which journal the paper was submitted to originally and what was the reference number of the rejected paper.
Policy on papers published at PES financially sponsored conferences:
The Authors who have presented the paper(s) at the IEEE PES financially sponsored conference including PES General Meeting, PES Innovative Smart Grid Technologies (USA, Latin America, Europe, Asia), PES PowerTech and PES PowerAfrica are eligible to submit the extended version of their conference paper(s) to one of IEEE PES Transactions for consideration of publication. The extended paper requires at least 60% additional new material relative to the original conference paper and is subject to a regular review process of the respective PES Transactions. The original conference paper should be referenced in the extended journal paper and new contributions with respect to the conference paper clearly identified. The final decision for publication on the extended paper is made by the Editor-in-Chief of the respective journal.
Open Access
This publication is a hybrid journal, allowing either Traditional manuscript submission or Open Access (author-pays OA) manuscript submission.
The OA option, if selected, enables unrestricted public access to the article via IEEE Xplore. The OA option will be offered to the author at the time the manuscript is accepted. If selected, the OA fee as outlined below must be paid before the article is published in the journal. If you have unusual circumstances about this, please contact the Editor-in-Chief. Any other applicable charges (such as the overlength page charge and/or charge for the use of color in the print format) will be billed separately once the manuscript formatting is complete but prior to the publication.
The traditional option, if selected, enables access to all qualified subscribers and purchasers via IEEE Xplore. No OA payment is required.
Open Access Article Processing Charges
US$2495 for articles submitted in 2024. US$2645 for articles submitted in 2025.
- IEEE Members receive a 5% discount
- IEEE Society Members receive a 20% discount
- Discounts cannot be combined
- Discounts do not apply to undergraduate and graduate students
- Information about IEEE’s Low and Lower-middle Income Country Program is available
