Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to submit your recent research papers to a Special Issue of Energies Journal on the subject area of “Advanced Online Condition Monitoring for Wind and Marine Energy Conversion Systems”. Wind and marine turbines are composed of a large number of electrical and mechanical components. They are designed to efficiently and robustly convert the kinetic power of wind and water into the electric power. They operate mostly in harsh working conditions, subjected commonly to the electrical and mechanical stresses due to their interactions with the power network and the external environment. Detection and diagnosis of incipient faults in the drive-train main elements, i.e., the multistage gearbox, the main bearing, the main shaft, and the generator improve significantly the reliability and availability of such complex systems. The prediction of remaining useful life (RUL) is possible by using prognosis tools such as Kalman filters, particle filters, and hidden Markov's model. It allows the planning of the condition-based maintenance of the drive-train components. Studying the efficiency of developed approaches in real-time is also a crucial factor for online condition-based maintenance (CBM), which enables us to identify and to isolate any incipient defect at the earliest possible time. The subject of interest of this Special Issue is the newly developed advanced techniques for online condition monitoring of wind and marine energy conversion systems. Furthermore, the development of high-fidelity hardware-in-the-loop (H-i-L) facilities with the main aim of real-time evaluation of the developed techniques at low cost is included. The potential papers for publication may cover, but are not limited to, the following topics:
- Wind and marine generators condition monitoring;
- Multistage gearbox and bearing condition monitoring;
- Online condition monitoring in time-varying working conditions;
- Physical modeling of incipient faults in the wind and marine drive-train components;
- Implementation of fault detection, diagnosis and prognosis algorithms in real-time platforms;
- Real-time digital simulation of wind and marine energy conversion systems;
- Hardware-in-the-loop facilities for real-time evaluation of condition monitoring methods.

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.
