Sensor Technologies for the Reliability and Robustness of Current Measurement

Dear Colleagues,

The Special Issue titled, “Sensor Technologies for the Reliability and Robustness of Current Measurement”, aims to explore the latest advancements in measurement technologies that enhance the precision, reliability, and robustness of current measurement systems. In an era where accurate current measurement is critical for various applications, ranging from industrial automation to renewable energy systems, it has become increasingly important to address the challenges associated with measurement inaccuracies, environmental influences, and component degradation. This Special Issue seeks to gather research contributions that present novel methodologies, technologies, and applications designed to improve measurement reliability and robustness in diverse operational settings.

The background of this Special Issue is grounded in the growing demand for reliable current measurement solutions amid rapid technological advancements. As industries evolve, the complexity of current measurement systems has increased, necessitating innovative approaches to ensure consistent performance. The purpose of this Special Issue is to highlight cutting-edge research that promotes the development of resilient measurement technologies, including new sensor designs, advanced calibration techniques, and innovative data processing algorithms. By fostering discussions on these topics, we aim to provide a platform for knowledge exchange that will inspire future research and practical applications, ultimately contributing to the overall advancement of current measurement technology.

The scope of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, the following topics:

1. Novel sensing mechanisms and optical configuration;
2. Techniques for temperature and vibration compensation in current sensors;
3. Long-term stability and aging effects in current sensors;
4. Stray current measurement and suppression in urban rail transit;
5. Integration of current sensors into smart grid and power systems;
6. Reliability testing and failure analysis of current sensors;
7. Case studies of field deployments and real-world applications;
8. Emerging trends and future directions in current measurement.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.
