Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are delighted to launch this Special Issue on “Floating Wind Energy Advances”!
The decarbonization goal set by the Paris Climate Agreement urges our global society to look for new clean and renewable energies, such as those from wind, wave, tidal, solar, hydrogen, etc. Wind energy has a long history of industrial exploitation. However, given that only 0.25% of installed offshore wind capacity is floating, floating offshore wind is still in its early stages. It is reported that floating wind farms are suited for water depths between 50 and 1000 m. This provides diverse options for floating foundation types but also raises challenges in terms of technical and economic viability.
This Special Issue aims to publish frontier research regarding all subjects in relation to floating wind energy. We aim to provide a rapid processing time regarding reviewing and publishing, disseminate the articles freely for research, teaching, and reference purposes, and achieve an increasing research impact.
We look forward to receiving your contributions on the state of the art as well as perspectives, in the form of research papers, review articles, and short communications, etc.
Dr. Yingyi Liu
Guest Editor
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. Wind is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1000 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
