Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The environmental challenges, such as global warming and pollutant emissions, are driving the community to press and accelerate in the ecological transition and CO2 reduction toward a fossil-free future. In this context, renewables (especially wind energy), are now having the largest attention than ever.
A strong contribution is demanded from the scientific research to boost the wind energy technology development and minimize the LCOE, making the ecological transition sustainable.
This Special Issue aims to collect recent and original contributions on advances in wind turbines and wind energy research. Some of the topics included are:
- Advances in design and control of wind turbines;
- Annual energy production optimization and losses estimation;
- Control strategies for floating wind turbines;
- Costs and life cycle assessment;
- Leading edge erosion and protection;
- Noise control and environmental impact;
- Predictive maintenance and damage detection in wind turbines;
- Vertical-axis wind turbines for offshore wind energy;
- Wind-energy-based systems and simulations;
- Wind inflow modelling, prediction, and measurement;
- Wind farm layout and control;
- Wind resource assessment;
- Wind turbine aerodynamics and aeroelasticity.

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.
