Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Wind energy exploitation is suitable for large-scale development due to its abundant resources with less visual and sound pollution and excellent characteristics of high operating efficiency, and with no land-use restrictions. On the other hand, wave energy is widely exploited as a result of its higher energy density than other marine renewable energy sources. Wind energy, wave energy, and especially wind–wave combinations are becoming more promising for the development and utilization of marine renewable energy for the future. Therefore, wind and wave energy resource assessment, wind–wave utilization technology, optimal design of energy conversion devices, large-scale power generation, and grid-connected technology are practically important for the efficient assessment and utilization of wind and wave renewable resources.
This Special Issue aims to present and disseminate the most recent advances in the concept, application, control, optimization, smart grid technology, evaluation, and combined utilization of wind and wave energy.
Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to:
- Wind and wave energy resource assessment and combined utilization;
- Multi-energy integration and innovation;
- Opportunities and challenges for the development of wind and wave power generation;
- Control technologies of wind and wave energy;
- Smart optimization algorithms for wind and wave energy;
- Experiments of floating offshore wind turbines or WECs;
- Smart grid;
- Technological innovation of offshore wind power engineering;
- Offshore wind power operation and maintenance technologies;
- Energy conversion of wave 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.
