Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Electric motors are widely used in numerous industrial applications. They operate continuously and for long-term periods both at nominal and overload conditions. As such, it is evident that the occurrence of faults is quite frequent. A possible motor failure can lead to temporary shutdown or interruption of the production process, which results in a loss of services and/or supplies. Additionally, the Industry 4.0 framework strongly supports smart manufacturing, complying with sustainability of all the involved systems and operations. Thus, it is of great importance to proceed to fast and reliable assessment of the health status of industrial drives. The development of effective mechanisms for electric motor fault detection has therefore attracted widespread attention from both academical and industrial fields. The goal of this issue is to bring researchers together to share their research findings and present attractive perspectives in the fields of fault detection, diagnosis, and prognosis in industrial motors. Prospective authors are invited to submit original and high-quality papers. Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following areas:
- Advanced diagnostic approaches for mechanical (e.g., bearings, gearbox, shaft bending, static and dynamic eccentricity), electrical (short circuits, winding interruption, asymmetry in supply voltage, voltage fluctuation, insulation failure, etc.), and electromechanical (rotor bars breaking, rotor end-ring detachment, etc.) faults;
- Diagnosis of multiple simultaneous faults;
- Early detection of incipient faults and fault isolation;
- Multisensor data fusion;
- Line- and inverter-fed electrical machines;
- Signal analysis and faults diagnosis during motor operation under harsh conditions;
- Non-invasive techniques;
- Predictive maintenance and real-time condition monitoring systems;
- Discrimination between faulty conditions and healthy conditions under the presence of load oscillations or speed variation;
- Modern signal processing techniques toward information quality improvement;
- Enhanced pattern recognition algorithms;
- Advanced fault detection and diagnosis methods based on artificial intelligence (e.g. supervised/unsupervised machine learning).

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.
