Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Concerning the cost-effectiveness and sustainability of wind power as a clean fuel source and the growing rate of the energy systems demand, the studies on wind energy have attracted attention from researchers from all around the world. The International Renewable Energy Agency has reported that global installation of the wind power capacity has raised by a factor of almost 75 in the past two decades, which increased from 7.5 GW in 1997 to some 564 GW in 2018, considering both onshore and offshore turbines. On the other hand, the potential of the energy in waves off of coastlines has resulted in technical and operational challenges arising for energy systems. As reported by The United States Energy Information Administration (EIA), it is estimated that United States has a potential of as much as 2.64 trillion KWh power production using waves off coasts, which is almost 64% of the United States electricity generation in 2019. The proposed research topic of the current Special Issue concentrates on the potential of wind and wave energy in future energy grids, including, but not limited to, the global potential of wind power, physical and technological limits of wind power, evaluation of global wind power, assessing the global wind energy resources, the rise of modern wind power, optimal allocation of wind turbines in energy grids, the global potential of wave energy, physical and technological limits of wave energy, studying the global wave energy resources, and the allocation of wave generation plants.

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.
