Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Wind energy plays a critical role in meeting the global energy demand while maintaining an eco-friendly and clean approach. To make wind energy more economically viable, modern wind turbines are becoming bigger and taller, thereby increasing their maximum power rating. Improving the cost-effectiveness of such large turbines (e.g., capacity factor and reliability) and reducing their environmental impact (e.g., noise) are the key goals of the ongoing research.
The challenges impeding the achievement of these goals are significant, requiring outstanding research and innovation in various areas, including aerodynamics, controls and structures, to name a few. This Special Issue will consider any papers on research topics relating to the "design and dynamic control of wind turbines". Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to:
- Wind energy prediction for wind farms;
- Wind turbine aerodynamics and aeroelasticity;
- Aerodynamic efficiency and the upscaling of wind turbines;
- Design of low-noise-emission airfoils;
- Noise control and environmental impact;
- Control and modeling of fixed and floating wind turbines;
- Wind farm control;
- Anomaly detection and compensation;
- Design and analysis of foundations and support structures;
- Loadings on fixed and floating wind turbine structures;
- Wave–structure interaction/soil–structure interaction;
- Innovative tower design concepts.

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. Machines is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
