Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Electrical equipment serves as the physical foundation of energy systems, and ensuring its safety is crucial for maintaining reliable energy transmission worldwide. However, due to various factors such as design flaws, material defects, operational environment fluctuations, and particularly long-term aging, the actual service life of equipment may fall short of initial expectations. Therefore, accurately assessing the operational lifespan of equipment based on its long-term performance is of paramount significance for ensuring operational safety.
To achieve precise lifespan prediction and evaluation, numerous scholars have conducted extensive research from diverse perspectives, including mechanistic modeling, detection methods, and data processing techniques. Accordingly, this Special Issue aims to showcase recent advancements in the field of assessing the lifespan of electrical equipment. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Research on the failure mechanisms of electrical equipment;
- Novel sensing methodologies for online monitoring of electrical equipment;
- Data processing techniques for lifespan prediction and condition assessment, particularly AI-integrated algorithms;
- Other technological approaches contributing to accurate lifespan evaluation and prediction.

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.
