Dear Colleagues,

The use of fossil fuels for electricity generation has led to serious environmental problems. As an alternative solution, renewable energy has started to attract a great deal of attention. Wind energy is popular among renewable energies because it is abundant, clean, inexhaustible, and environmentally friendly. Wind turbines have been ingeniously engineered to harness wind energy in agriculture for irrigation and crop grinding for centuries.

The purpose of this Special Issue is to collect the latest research and cutting-edge technology to facilitate the exchange of innovative ideas regarding wind energy and wind turbine systems among academicians, engineers, scientists, and practitioners. Of interest is newly developed, innovative, and advanced techniques for wind power generation and wind turbine systems.

We welcome theoretical, experimental, and simulation works on wind energy and wind turbines. This Special Issues invites the submission of reviews, original research articles, mini reviews, and data reports. Topics of interest for publication include but are not limited to the following:

• Advances in wind turbine rotor design;
• Computational fluid dynamics analysis;
• Horizontal-axis wind turbines;
• Innovation in wind turbine systems;
• Numerical and analytical analysis;
• Onshore and offshore wind turbines;
• Urban wind turbines;
• Vertical-axis wind turbines;
• Wind energy forecasting and prediction;
• Wind farms and the interaction of wind turbine arrays;
• Wind turbine aerodynamics and aeroelasticity;
• Wind–wake interaction of turbine rotors.

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 System Innovation 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 1400 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.
