Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the last few decades, interest in HVDC transmission has increased significantly due to the increased demand for renewable energy resources such as offshore wind farms. The different components of HVDC network such as cables, transformers, converters and filters are exposed to various type of stresses during service conditions. Apart from other stresses, HVDC equipment is exposed to ripples and transients either generated by power electronic converters or coming from the neighboring AC systems.
The presence of high-frequency ripples in HVDC chains may lead to partial discharges, electrical treeing, space charge accumulation, and increased thermal influences on insulation. Therefore, exploring various condition-monitoring techniques are essential for the safe and reliable operation of modern power systems. The main goal of this Special Issue is to give academics, researchers, and industry professionals an opportunity to highlight their current work and define future directions.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Condition monitoring and asset management of HVDC power cables
- Condition monitoring of power transformers
- Power quality issues in HVDC network
- Transient phenomenon
- Monitoring in HVDC networks
- Advance converter control for minimizing harmonics/transients in HVDC networks
- HVDC filter design
- Harmonic transfer and propagation in HVDC networks
- Outdoor insulators for HVDC OHLs
- HVDC protection 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. 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.
