Dear Colleagues,

It is our societal responsibility to replace carbon based power sources with renewable energy sources. Wind energy is considered to be a clean and sustainable source of green energy. For decades, windmills were built from recyclable and reusable materials. The arrival of plastic composite materials allowed the building of turbines with long blades that made them more efficient but less sustainable. Sustainability places high demands on new technologies to bring wind power as a main source of energy. The focus of this Special Issue is on the latest achievements in wind power technologies in the areas of: Efficient designs of wind turbines and wind turbine farms, blade material and manufacturing technologies, on shore and off shore supporting towers, aerodynamics and stability analyses, and wind power economics. This Special Issue will include sustainable interdisciplinary research on wind power technologies.

The scope of this Special Issue is sustainable wind power technologies, including efficient designs of wind turbines and wind farms, blade materials, manufacturing technologies of turbine systems, aerodynamics and stability analyses, and wind power economics. The purpose of this Issue is to emphasize that sustainability in wind power technologies is an important aspect to promote wind power as a clean energy source replacement for carbon-based power sources.

We are soliciting current literature on topics including the most common renewable power technologies:

• Solar
• Biogas
• Geothermal
• Biomass
• Hydroelectricity

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. Sustainability 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 2400 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.
