Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the advent of machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI), there is unprecedented potential to transform condition monitoring, enabling real-time diagnostics, predictive maintenance, and anomaly detection in wind energy systems. This Special Issue invites researchers and practitioners to present recent advances and innovative applications of AI and ML techniques for the condition monitoring of wind energy systems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- AI and ML models including deep learning, ensemble methods, and transfer learning for fault detection and diagnosis in wind farms.
- Predictive maintenance frameworks using AI and ML models to predict failures and optimize maintenance schedules.
- Novel approaches for identifying anomalous behavior in wind turbines, to prevent unexpected failures.
- Data fusion techniques for multiple sensors, such as vibration, temperature, acoustic, and SCADA.
- Explainability and interpretability of AI and ML models in condition monitoring.
- Applications of edge-based ML solutions for real-time condition monitoring in remote wind farms.
- Data challenges in condition monitoring.

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.
