Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
During the last decade, research on wave energy has seen massive growth thanks to global climate change. Researchers and policy makers are looking for alternative sources of energy to reduce the effect of global climate change. Ocean waves store a vast amount of energy that, if harnessed properly, can produce a huge amount of electricity when connected with the grid. However, most wave energy converters currently developed still have low TRL levels. It is indeed necessary to continue to develop and research activities related to wave energy converters. This Special Issue aims to discover the latest developments related to wave energy conversion.
The topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to:
- Hydrodynamic analysis of wave energy converters (WEC);
- Numerical and experimental analysis of turbines for WEC;
- Full-scale testing techniques of WEC;
- Fluid-structure interaction of WEC;
- Optimization techniques for WEC.

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.
