Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Gas turbines are widely used technological solutions for power generation because of their high power density, compact structure, and operational flexibility. The exhaust gas temperature of these turbines is around 500℃. Discharging the exhaust gas into the environment would lead to unfavourable thermal efficiency. In this context, waste heat recovery (WHR) is an imperative technology to further utilize the energy contained in the exhaust gas for additional power or other purposes, improving the overall efficiency of the gas turbine system. In addition, advantages such as substantial cost savings and reductions in gas emissions can be achieved.
Some typical techniques for waste heat recovery in gas turbines include heat recovery steam generators (HRSGs), the organic Rankine cycle (ORC), and the supercritical carbon dioxide (s-CO2) power cycle. Optimization can consider various factors, such as the design of a heat exchanger, selection of working fluid, cycle configuration, and determination of operating parameters. Implementing advanced control strategies and conducting continuous monitoring and regular maintenance are also critical to the operation of WHR systems.
This Special Issue aims to present and disseminate the most recent advances related to the theory, design, modelling, application, control, and condition monitoring of waste heat recovery optimization in gas turbines.

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.
