Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The need for a rapid transition to clean energy is enabling innovative developments in the renewable sector. Businesses and industries are moving towards renewable energy to reduce emissions, energy costs, and improve sustainability, as steps towards the net-zero target. The major renewable energy trends include sustainable materials, energy-efficient integrations, and solutions that overcome the intermittency in renewable energy production. Safety and reliability are the primary challenges associated with such multi-layer renewable technologies, from basic-level devices such as sustainable materials, energy storage, and convertors, to upper-level machines, monitoring system control, and grid stability. Hence, ensuring the safety of renewable technologies at each level becomes essential.
This Special Issue aims to investigate emerging technologies to improve the safety and reliability of renewable energy systems by employing advanced materials, innovative design, and functional control systems. The safety of renewable technologies is a dynamic and evolving field, and this Special Issue has a wide scope and discipline focusing on trends to improve safety and reliability of renewable technologies, where theoretical and experimental contributions are welcome. Contributions in the following aspects are particularly welcome:
- Advanced materials for energy conversion, solar energy, energy storage, lightweight structures, fire resistant and harsh environmental conditions;
- Innovative mechanical design for safety management, minimizing failure, thermal management, fire shielding;
- System integration and stability for power generation, energy transmission, fault diagnosis, and environmental monitoring.

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. Machines is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2400 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.
