Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the increasing consumption of fossil fuels and problems with the gradual deterioration in the environment, there is an urgent need to find a clean and renewable energy source. Wind energy is irreplaceable in energy structures owing to its rapid growth. Usually, wind power generators are installed in remote areas or offshore areas where traffic is inconvenient, and the gearbox is generally installed in the sky, tens or even hundreds of meters above the ground, and subjected to complex operating conditions, which makes daily monitoring and maintenance of wind turbines difficult. Once a problem occurs, it significantly reduces profits for a wind farm. Therefore, fault diagnosis and maintenance are very important during the operation of wind turbines.
In recent years, machine learning has played a crucial role as an emerging technology for fault diagnosis in wind power systems. Over recent decades, researchers have proposed different methodologies for dealing with the issues related to the fault diagnosis of wind turbines; there are still some challenges encountered in many aspects. Advances in machine learning can provide the tools and foundations for creating fascinating data-driven end-to-end solutions for the fault diagnosis of wind turbines.
This Special Issue invites researchers and industrial professionals to investigate and present recent advances and techniques addressing problems in the fault diagnosis of wind turbine using machine learning.

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.
