Recent Advances in Wind Farms

Dear Colleagues,

The rapid development of wind power on complex terrain and offshore prompt us to improve the reliability of wind resource assessment of wind farms over complex terrain and reduce the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) by utilizing big wind turbines and active wake control for offshore wind farms. Wind resource assessment and active flow field transition technology for offshore wind farms have many challenges in aerodynamics, aeroelasticity, aeroacoustics, micrositing, wind power forecast, and energy storage. This Special Issue entitled “Recent Advances in Wind Farms” will collect and present the results of research and implementation experiences in the wind energy area, to help toward the development of future wind energy technologies and enhance their sustainability.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
