History

• The journal was launched in 1986 when the IEEE Transactions on Power Apparatus and Systems was split into three separate titles, with the Power Systems transactions taking the volume numbering forward from its predecessor该刊于 1986 年创刊，其时（IEEE Transactions on Power Apparatus and Systems）拆分为三种独立期刊，电力系统汇刊承袭前者的卷号继续编次。
• It has been published bimonthly throughout most of its history, with six issues per volume per year, and it is one of the core titles of the IEEE Power and Energy Society该刊历史上大部分时间以双月刊形式出版，每年一卷六期，是（IEEE）电力与能源学会的核心期刊之一。
• The Journal Impact Factor moved from 6.663 in 2021 to 7.326 in 2022, to 7.2 in 2024 and to 8.7 in 2025, maintaining first quartile standing in engineering electrical and electronic throughout该刊影响因子由 2021 年的 6.663 升至 2022 年的 7.326，再降至 2024 年的 7.2 与 2025 年的 8.7，始终居电气与电子工程类第一四分位。
• The journal has progressively expanded its scope to address smart grid, renewable integration and power system cyber security, reflecting the transformation of electric power systems under decarbonisation and digitalisation该刊逐步扩展学科范围以涵盖智能电网、可再生能源接入与电力系统信息安全，反映电力系统在脱碳与数字化进程中的转型。
• The publisher carries the journal on IEEE Xplore and the digital object identifier prefix of its articles is 10.1109, shared with other IEEE journals出版方将该刊载于（IEEE Xplore），其文章的数字对象唯一标识符前缀为（10.1109），与（IEEE）其他期刊一致。

Editors

• The journal is led by an editor-in-chief supported by an editorial board whose members are drawn from universities, research institutes and power industry organisations across the Americas, Europe and Asia该刊由一位主编带领，配以由美洲、欧洲与亚洲多所大学、研究机构及电力行业机构的学者组成的编委会。
• The editorial team includes associate editors responsible for subject areas such as power system stability, optimisation, markets, renewable integration and distribution systems, reflecting the breadth of power system engineering编辑团队设有副编辑，分别负责电力系统稳定、优化、市场、可再生能源接入与配电系统等方向，对应电力系统工程的广度。
• Editorial handling follows the IEEE editorial management system, with submissions assigned to handling editors based on subject expertise and competing interest declarations稿件处理依托（IEEE）的编辑管理系统，依据学科专长与利益冲突声明分配责任编辑。
• Peer review is single-blind and the journal maintains the IEEE standards on reviewer recruitment, conflict of interest management and editorial independence, with the review process conducted through the ScholarOne Manuscripts system同行评审采用单盲方式，该刊遵循（IEEE）在审稿人遴选、利益冲突管理与编辑独立性方面的标准，评审经（ScholarOne Manuscripts）系统进行。
• The masthead and board roster are published on the journal page at IEEE Xplore and updated as new members join or existing members step down编委名单在（IEEE Xplore）期刊页公布，并随成员增减而更新。
