Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The generation of energy in wind farms is considered ecologically clean. Significant amounts of materials, e.g., steel and plastics, are used to manufacture rotating elements of a wind power plant (turbines, hubs, shafts, bearings, couplings, gears, rotors of generators, coolers, heaters, nacelles with accessories, monitoring equipment, and above all their supporting structures); electricity and heat are also consumed, which is a source of potential environmental burdens. Analyses, tests, assessments of the condition and directions of development, and degrees of technological readiness are needed to take into account for the progress in innovative, modernized, optimized, and repaired rotating machines, e.g., wind turbines, which play an important role in the contemporary and future world of renewable energy. The aim of this Special Issue is to highlight the latest achievements in effective, high-efficiency, low-carbon wind energy motion systems and systems while maintaining high product quality (power and energy), component durability, and process efficiency.

We encourage analytical, numerical, and application studies to be submitted to this Special Issue. The main topics of this Special Issue may cover but not be limited to the following topics:

  1. Innovations, modernizations, optimization of construction, production, operation, repair; analysis, evaluation, and development directions of rotating machines;
  2. Assessment of technological readiness and reliability of wind farms;
  3. Ecodesign of facilities, processes, and consequences of wind farms;
  4. Technical, human, utility, non-utility, and ecological characteristics of the operating potentials of renewable energy facilities.

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. Applied Sciences 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.
