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.

Due to its narrow divergence, optical wireless power transmission (OWPT) is promising for long-distance transmission systems. In OWPT systems, matching the beam shape with the solar cell geometry is crucial for both efficiency and safety. When the light is incident at an oblique angle, the beam is distorted in an axial direction, which requires appropriate beam shape control. In this study, a cylindrical lens system was designed to ensure uniform and effective light beam irradiation, even under oblique incidence conditions. A numerical model of the optical system was constructed, and it was experimentally confirmed that the beam shape could be controlled within 5% error over a transmission range of 1 m. The optical system was integrated with solar cell detection for consistent target recognition and beam irradiation, and its functionality was experimentally validated. The results are useful for expanding the application and infrastructure design in OWPT. Full article
