Dielectric Insulation in Medium- and High-Voltage Power Equipment—Degradation and Failure Mechanism, Diagnostics, and Electrical Parameters Improvement—3rd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

The Guest Editor is inviting submissions to Volume 3 of a Special Issue of Energies titled "Dielectric Insulation in Medium- and High-Voltage Power Equipment—Degradation and Failure Mechanism, Diagnostics, and Electrical Parameters Improvement—3rd Edition".

This Special Issue will focus on the detection of degradation and failure mechanisms of dielectric insulation in medium- and high-voltage power equipment. Diagnostic investigations will help to eliminate damage to the insulation components of power equipment. This can effectively reduce and even eliminate catastrophic failures and avoid accompanying environmental pollution. The Special Issue will also deal with metering and the use of sensors and other solutions for continuously monitoring the condition of the components of power equipment.

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

• Determination of degradation and failure mechanisms of dielectric insulation;
• Diagnostics and monitoring of insulating components of power equipment, including the condition of solid, liquid (oil), and gas insulation;
• Modern diagnostic methods, including the FDS method, the PDC method, the RVM method, the SFRA method, partial discharge measurements and localization of their places of occurrence, and vibro-acoustic and acoustic measurements;
• Development and implementation of new diagnostic methods;
• Improvement of electrical parameters of power equipment.

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 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.
