Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We cordially invite you to submit your research papers, communications or review articles to the Special Issue entitled “Recent Progress, Challenges and Outlooks of Insulation System in HVDC: 2nd Edition”.
The insulation system is an important part of a HVDC transmission and transformation project, which is the main engineering means to utilize and absorb new energies. The reliability of the insulation system directly affects the safety and economy of equipment and power grids. In recent years, the aging and breakdown of dielectric materials under DC voltage, the design and manufacture of HVDC insulation equipment, the interaction characteristics between insulation system and its working environment, detection and diagnosis methods of HVDC insulation, the special impact of the DC electric field on insulation, etc., have attracted extensive attention. Moreover, the applications of new technologies such as artificial intelligence and big data in HVDC systems are also interesting topics for power and energy researchers.
This Special Issue aims to present and disseminate the most recent advances related to the phenomenon, theory, design, modelling, application, and condition monitoring of all types of insulation systems including materials, devices, and projects.
Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Insulating materials for HVDC systems;
- HVDC cable insulation;
- Insulators for HVDC transmission lines;
- Air gap insulation in HVDC projects;
- HVDC insulation system under extreme conditions;
- Detection and diagnosis of insulation system in HVDC;
- Discharge phenomenon of HVDC insulation system;
- Design and maintenance of HVDC insulation system;
- Insulation system of UHV converter transformer;
- Insulation system of DC electronic equipment;
- Application of AI in HVDC insulation system.
We are looking forward to receiving your outstanding work for this Special Issue.

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.
