Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
A wide variety of electrical materials, such as polymeric insulating materials, energy storage materials, functional ceramics, semi-conductive sensing materials, and high-conductive metallic materials, compose the complicated power transmission system. Recently, modern renewable energy systems will replace traditional energy systems owing to the more precise and controlled power stations. In this context, the insulation materials, as one of the core components in electrical power equipment, will undergo unprecedented challenges and opportunities that may enhance the operational complexity and reduces the power system’s safety and reliability.
The variations in operational conditions mark a question on the insulation strength of newly developed countless ultra-high voltage (UHV) assets. Consequently, there is an essential need for a credible performance analysis, defect detection, and condition assessment of insulation materials in UHV equipment.
Therefore, in this Research Topic, we call for papers focusing on the fabrication, performance analysis, deterioration mechanism, defect detection, and condition assessment of new electrical materials. We welcome researchers to contribute Original Research, Brief Research Reports, and Review papers for this Research Topic. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- Advanced measurement and characterization technology
- Advanced electrical materials fabrication and their deterioration mechanism
- Advanced insulation defect detection and condition assessment technique
- Dielectric materials and relaxation phenomena
- Operation, maintenance, and optimal design of UHV equipment
- Other related aspects

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. Energies 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 2600 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.
