Advanced Technology of Full Lifecycle Service for Hydraulic Machinery

Dear Colleagues,

In the context of the global energy crisis and climate change, the role of hydraulic machinery, widely used for renewable energy generation and sustainable energy storage, has become more important than ever. Full lifecycle services, from design to simulation, from model test to prototype measurement, from manufacturing to installation, from monitoring to diagnostics, and from overhaul to rehab, are critical to achieving the efficient and safe operation of hydraulic machinery. Research on and the application of full lifecycle services of various types of hydraulic machinery are attracting the attention of many researchers and experts in academia and industry. Therefore, we are pleased to invite you to submit your cutting-edge achievements, including, but not limited to, the following topics:

• Optimization design of hydraulic machinery;
• Smart operation, industrial processes, and applied sciences;
• Renewable energy, energy generation, and energy storage;
• Experimental measurements and numerical simulations;
• Smart sensing technology;
• Online monitoring, prediagnostics, fault diagnosis, and accident retrospectives;
• Model tests and field tests;
• Remote communication, remote measurement, remote control, and remote regulation;
• Novel approaches to flow control, noise control, and vibration control;
• Smart grids, smart power plants, digital twins, neural networks, and expert systems;
• Applications of machine learning, AI, intelligent manufacturing, the IIoT, and cloud computing;
• Full lifecycle services for hydraulic machinery.
