Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues
Continuing the increasing penetration of renewable energies in power systems is a challenge. Wind power has been the fastest growing renewable energy in recent years. According to GWEC, 60.4 GW of wind energy capacity was installed globally in 2019, a 19% increase from installations in 2018, and total capacity for wind energy globally is now over 651 GW, an increase of 10% compared to 2018.
Modeling and control of wind energy conversion systems is a fundamental research topic for easing wind energy penetration in power systems. Aspects like power-frequency control, virtual inertia, black-start capability, hybrid wind farms, offshore wind farms and their transmission systems, and others must be investigated in depth to make possible an even greater contribution of wind energy in the electricity mix. This Special Issue aims to encourage researchers to create solutions to the technical and economical problems in the way of improving the integration of wind power in electrical grids.

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.
