Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Wind energy is one of the most renewable sources that will play a crucial role in future energy scenarios. The deep application of wind power in several energy systems in recent decades suggests that it is becoming a mature technology.
Moreover, wind energy is acting as a very successful industry to decrease the use of conventional energy source dependency, reducing, at the same time, the energy sector’s impact on the environment.
This Special Issue aims at reaching academics, scientists, and industrial actors interested in the wind energy field to contribute with their achievements to the recent advances in wind energy.
This present Special Issue covers a wide range of topics, including:
- Development of resource assessment techniques—prediction, modelling, atmospheric physics, wind farm planning, siting (including off-shore developments), economics, and environmental issues;
- Wind rotors and blades—aerodynamics, aero-elastics, aero-servo-elasticity, aero-acoustics, wakes, rotor, and blade design;
- Wind turbine technologies;
- Control of wind turbines, diagnostics;
- Generator concepts, including gearless concepts;
- Electrical engineering of wind power;
- Grid interconnection, ride-through operation, protection;
- Operations and maintenance—reliability, maintainability, condition monitoring, predictive maintenance, and economics;
- Concept innovations, modeling, systems—design, installation, operation, performance, optimization, and control;
- Structural and mechanical component modeling and design;
- Smart-grid and micro-grid related to wind turbine operation.

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.
