Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The reliability of modern power transmission systems critically depends on the performance and integrity of insulation materials and structures. This Special Issue aims to bring together recent advancements in the understanding, monitoring, and evaluation of dielectric aging, partial discharge phenomena, external insulation degradation, and conductor dynamics. Topics of interest include aging mechanisms in dielectric materials, lifetime prediction methods, surface discharge development, and the detection and diagnosis of insulation states in substations and transmission lines.
Particular attention is given to field-applicable technologies such as ice accretion monitoring, real-time conductor galloping detection, and the integration of intelligent condition assessment tools. We welcome contributions that explore both theoretical insights and practical applications, including novel materials, data-driven diagnostics, sensor development, and simulation techniques.
This Special Issue provides a platform for researchers and engineers to share innovations that improve the safety, resilience, and efficiency of high-voltage transmission infrastructure.

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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.
