Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
There has been extensive demand and attraction for renewable energies due to their considerable advantages over fossil-based fuels. These include solar, wind, hydro, biomass, and hydrogen energy. However, renewable energy production, transmission, and application are associated with serious safety, resilience, and reliability issues, which need to be examined in life cycle of renewable energies infrastructures to establish resilient and sustainable operations. Considering the unique properties of renewable energies, which are different compared to non-renewable ones, their safety, resilience, and reliability concerns have attracted considerable interest in recent years. Accordingly, this Special Issue focuses on system safety and human factors, risk and reliability analysis, asset integrity management, and accident modeling at different stages of lifecycle renewable energies from production to application.
Potential topics include but are not limited to:
- Systematic, critical, content, and bibliometric review in renewable energy;
- System safety and human factors analysis in renewable energy;
- Recent advancements in reliability and risk assessment methods in renewable energy;
- Accident investigation and lessons learned associated with renewable energy;
- Safety, resilience, and reliability concerns in the sustainable design of renewable energy infrastructure;
- Uncertainty handling and decision making in safe and resilient operation of renewable energy infrastructure;
- Emerging computational modeling and simulation software trends for consequence modelling accidents (e.g., fire, explosion, dispersion);
- The applications of machine learning and data mining in risk management of renewable energy;
- Digitalization, cybersecurity, and natural disaster protection in renewable energy 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. Safety is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1800 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.
