Technologies for Wave Energy Extraction
This special issue belongs to the section "A3: Wind, Wave and Tidal Energy".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Among various energy types, wave energy is a kind of renewable energy with enormous potential. The technologies associated with wave energy extraction are highly important for achieving the expected targets in environmental protection and energy efficiency. However, it is still difficult for wave energy to be considered a definite alternative due to its high cost and low efficiency. This Special Issue welcomes all fields related to the stable and efficient extraction of wave energy, including modeling, simulation, power conversion, mechanical devices, etc.
- Design approaches for wave energy converters;
- Topologies and control algorithms for high efficiency;
- Numerical and physical modeling for wave energy converters;
- Physical modeling of marine energy converters;
- Simulation for wave energy conversion.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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-anonymized 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.
