Advances in Diagnostic Analysis, Strategic Management, and Proactive Maintenance of Electrical Equipment—2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

The growing complexity of electrical systems in modern industries and infrastructure makes the reliability and efficiency of electrical equipment more crucial than ever. The challenges of aging equipment, system integration, and the increasing demand for energy efficiency require advanced diagnostic methods, predictive maintenance strategies, and robust management techniques. Proactive maintenance is a critical component in ensuring the longevity and functionality of electrical systems across various applications, including power generation, transportation, and industrial operations.

This Special Issue aims to present and disseminate the latest advancements in the diagnostic analysis, strategic management, and proactive maintenance of electrical equipment. We invite contributions that explore innovative approaches to condition monitoring, fault detection, predictive maintenance, and the optimization of asset management strategies. This issue seeks to bridge the gap between cutting-edge research and its practical applications in real-world settings.

Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to:

• Advanced diagnostic techniques and tools for fault detection and prognosis in electrical systems.
• Predictive maintenance strategies for critical electrical infrastructure and industrial applications.
• Data-driven approaches to condition monitoring using machine learning and artificial intelligence.
• Reliability-centered maintenance (RCM) and risk-based asset management strategies.
• Lifecycle management and optimization of electrical equipment.
• Applications of real-time monitoring and remote diagnostics in electrical equipment.
• The role of big data and IoT in proactive maintenance and fault prevention.
• Development and application of fault-tolerant strategies in electrical systems.
• Case studies on successful implementations of advanced maintenance techniques in energy, transportation, and industrial sectors.

We welcome high-quality research that contributes to the development of innovative maintenance strategies and management frameworks, ultimately improving the performance and sustainability of electrical systems.
