Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The main aim of the Special Issue is the presentation of sustainability of electric power devices, such as power transformers, solar cells, wind farms, hydro powers, high-voltage cables and insulators, capacities, switchgears, and gas-insulated substations (GIS) and lines (GIL). All these aforementioned devices ensure proper and reliable operation of electric power systems, which have been exposed to turbulence and fluctuations caused by developing renewable sources of energy in recent years. The sustainability of electric power devices, presented in this Special Issue, should be understood as progress in the frame of the devices’ diagnostics, their design, and their impact on natural environment. Promising methods of the devices’ diagnostics are developing dynamically, which has a significant positive impact on their real technical lifetime. Progress of design means new solutions concerned with construction and advanced materials. New solutions of the construction are often aided by computer simulations, where electric, magnetic, and especially thermal fields are taken into account. Advanced materials, used in electric power devices, have been based on nanofillers in recent decades. There are many investigations around the worl, which are focused on reducing the negative impact of electric power devices on the natural environment. I hope that this Special Issue on “Sustainability of Electric Power Devices” will provide an opportunity to present the great progress achieved in the last few years in the frame of diagnostics, design, and impact of devices on the natural environment, all of which play an extremely important role in electric power systems.

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.
