Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Tidal energy represents a significant opportunity to increase the world’s renewable power generation capacity. Recent decades have witnessed that tidal energy is getting considerable attention because of its high density, well-predictability, and low environmental impact as compared to other renewable energy resources. The challenge is in making it commercially feasible to capture and convert the energy into usable power. In this context, intensive research has led to the development of the tidal industry. To fully harness tidal energy as a significant and ongoing source of clean energy, it is critical that researchers explore ways to assist in developing technologies and methods that increase its viability for broad commercial application. To accelerate the development of tidal energy, improved designs of Tidal Current Turbine (TCT) are necessary.
This Special Issue aims to present original research, reviews, and case studies outlining recent progress and exploring scenarios in tidal energy exploitation.
Potential topics for publication include, but are not limited to: Tidal turbines, Coupled Fluid Structure Interaction, Computational fluid dynamics modelling of tidal turbines, Numerical modelling of turbines, Performance analysis, Wake analysis, Renewable energy, Resource assessment, Impact on farm operation, Cost assessment, Array modelling, Device optimization, Grid connection, Installation and maintenance and effect of climate change on tidal energy.

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.
