Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Today, the quest for clean and sustainable energy is rising globally at a rapid pace with the current technological advances, an increase in the world's population, and a recurring need to reduce CO2 emissions. Wind energy stands to play a crucial role in ensuring sustainable energy development in the world as its potential is abundant across the globe. However, the conversion capability of the existing wind turbines is still unsatisfactory and far from the Betz limit. This inability stems from both technological constraints such as an efficient design of the wind turbine rotor, generator/alternator and gearbox and environmental issues such as appropriate site selection (micrositing) and wind regime characteristics.
This Special Issue aims to address recent developments on wind turbine rotor design improvement through CFD simulations as well as analytical assessment on site siting and wind regime characteristics. Topics include, but are not limited to:
- CFD simulations;
- Wind turbine design;
- Fluid flow characterizations;
- Wind power assessment;
- Site siting;
- Wind regime characteristics.

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. Processes is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2400 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.
