Flow Control and Optimization in Power Systems

Dear Colleagues,

Power systems are broadly applied in aeronautics, aerospace sea, and land transportation, as well as in energy and chemical industries. Fluid organization and flow control technology in the power system can improve the performance, efficiency, and reliability. Therefore, this is a promising and attractive research area for both industry professionals and the academic community. In recent years, some advanced technology, e.g., additive manufacturing, artificial intelligence, and MEMS, have made flow control more efficient and feasible. Optimization through mathematical algorithms aims to search the best shape or strategies which can be within the generalized flow control.

This Special Issue aims to present and disseminate the most recent advances related to the theory, design, modelling, experiment, and application of all types of flow control in power systems.

Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Active flow control;
• Passive flow control;
• Hybrid control;
• Intelligent control;
• Drag reduction;
• Noise reduction;
• Optimization method;
• Surrogate model;
• Component  optimization;
• Power system optimization;
• Multidisciplinary optimization.

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.
