Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Guest Editor is inviting submissions for a Special Issue of Energies on the subject area of “Condition Monitoring and Fault Detection of Wind Turbines”.
Wind energy has experienced an immense growth with respect to both the turbine size and market share. Although the technology for generating electric power from wind energy systems has matured, the reliability of the wind turbines can still be improved in areas spanning from design, transportation, installation, operation, and maintenance. However, due to the harsh conditions, wind turbines operate under nonstationary conditions (varying speed and load) which affects the operational performance and fault detection. Therefore, successful solutions to these issues are crucial to the growth of the wind power industry. The aim of this Special Issue is to collect the latest advances in the field of condition monitoring and power generation techniques of wind turbines. Topics of interest for publication include but are not limited to:
- Development of condition monitoring systems
- Physics-based modeling and data-driven modeling of wind turbines
- Modeling and condition monitoring of electric machines and drives/wind power generation systems
- Nonstationary signal processing techniques
- Condition-based operation and maintenance strategies
- Physics-based modeling and data-driven modeling
- Control of wind turbine systems;
- Wind turbine design and manufacturing;

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.
