Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We invite submissions to a special Issue of the journal Symmetry on the topic “Active Control of Asymmetrical Wake Flow in Wind Energy Systems”.
The use of conventional energy resources has led to severe environmental problems, with considerable time and effort required for environmental recovery. Therefore, an increasing number of countries have focused on developing clean and renewable energy resources (e.g., solar, wave, and wind energy). Wind energy has been extensively exploited in recent decades. Wind farms are being established worldwide to harvest wind energy.
With the development of wind energy utilization, more researchers and engineers have realized the importance of wind farm layout optimization and have conducted numerous studies on the layout optimization of wind turbines in onshore wind farms. However, for the established wind farms, the layout can not be changed; therefore the active asymmetrical wake control of the wind turbines can be utilized to improve the power output.
This special Issue is focused on the wake model of the wind turbines, the CFD modeling of the interaction between the wake and the terrain, the asymmetrical wake-flow induced dynamic motions of the wind turbines, the optimization of the layout the wind farms, and the vibration-control of the wind turbines. The invitation also includes perspective review papers on recent advances and opportunities for the active control of wind farm.

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. Symmetry 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.
