Dear Colleagues,

New energy sources, which mainly include solar, wind, hydrogen, geothermal, biomass and nuclear energies, are meaningful for promoting the sustainable development of the world. Currently, different types of new energy systems are at different development stages, facing different kinds of challenges and issues. For instance, how can we increase energy efficiencies of new energy systems? How can long-term stable power be generated using renewable energies? Are new types of multi-energy complementary systems feasible in the future? How can we further develop the potential of new energy systems to make them become polygeneration systems? Researchers all over the world are working hard on finding effective methods of meeting these challenges and solving these issues.

This Special Issue aims to provide a platform for researchers to discuss the relevant issues in thermal analysis and thermodynamic analysis for advanced new energy systems, allowing them to present the latest achievements in new energy utilization technologies as well as to propose corresponding solutions to key technical challenges of new energy systems. This Special Issue encourages original research works and literature review articles on thermal analysis and thermodynamic analysis for advanced new energy systems, with topics including but not limited to the following:

1. Designs and thermodynamic analyses of novel new energy systems, including solar energy systems, wind power systems, biomass energy systems, geothermal energy systems, nuclear energy systems, multi energy hybrid systems, etc.;
2. Thermal economic analyses of new energy systems;
3. Thermodynamic analyses in new energy-based hydrogen production or desalination;
4. Flow and heat transfer analyses in new energy systems;
5. Energy storage issues in new energy utilization;
6. Other thermal analysis and thermodynamic analysis issues in new energy utilization.

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. Entropy 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 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.
