Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Ensuring the security and resilience of modern energy and transportation infrastructure is critical for sustainable development, especially in the face of increasingly frequent extreme weather events. Both ultra-high voltage (UHV) transmission lines and high-speed railway systems are vulnerable to severe icing, strong winds, and other environmental hazards, posing significant risks to system reliability and public safety. Addressing these challenges requires interdisciplinary innovation in automation, intelligent monitoring, and resilient defense technologies.
This Special Issue, “Sustainable Power System Security: Automation, Monitoring, and Intelligent Defense Technology,” aims to provide a platform for original research articles and reviews that advance the sustainable security of both power systems and high-speed railways. We encourage submissions focused on disaster mechanisms, predictive modeling, intelligent monitoring, automation strategies, and defense solutions for these critical infrastructures under harsh conditions.
Suggested themes include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Disaster mechanisms in UHV transmission lines and high-speed railway systems;
- Automation and smart monitoring technologies;
- Resilient defense strategies and system optimization;
- AI and data-driven approaches for infrastructure security;
- Case studies on sustainable operation under extreme events.
Original research articles and comprehensive reviews are both welcome.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Sustainability 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 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.
