Insulation Challenges in High-Voltage Transformers: Overcoming Barriers

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue aims to attract original research papers and review articles. The scope covers insulation challenges in high-voltage transformers, including experimental, computational (including simulation and modelling), and theoretical studies, such as:

Electrical Insulation

Outdoor, indoor, solid, and liquid insulation;
Nano-dielectrics and new insulation materials;
Condition monitoring and maintenance.

Discharge and Plasma and Pulsed Power

Electrical discharge, plasma generation and applications;
The interactions of plasma with surfaces.

High-Field Effects

Computation and measurements of intensive electromagnetic field;
Electromagnetic compatibility;
Environmental effects and protection.

High-Voltage Engineering

Design problems, testing and measuring techniques;
Equipment development and asset management;
Live line working;
AC/DC power electronics;
UHV power transmission.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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. Energies 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.
