Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Considering the rapid technological advancement, smart dielectric materials are expected to be designed, manufactured, and utilized for the next generation of power system equipment and networks. In addition to the traditional characteristics of insulation materials, which are necessary for reliable operation of the power network, these materials provide extra benefits that make them attractive for the next generation of power systems to accommodate better use of renewable energies and integration into a smart, self-healing power grid.
Considering the fast growth of research and development in these dielectric materials, this Special Issue will be focused on all aspects of design, manufacturing, and utilization of new insulation materials proposed for use in the smart power equipment and network.
Researchers from relevant field are encouraged to submit their original papers related to the above topics, particularly including but not restricted to:
- Smart materials for energy applications, e.g., electroactive polymers, electrets, piezoelectric materials for energy harvesting and sensing;
- Functional materials for both HVDC and HVAC applications, with the purpose of space charge reduction and better withstanding of partial discharge activity;
- Advanced self-healing materials for high voltage applications.

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.
