Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Sustainable energy refers to the use of natural environmental cycles to generate an infinite supply of energy that is nonpolluting. Renewable energy offers renewability and cleanliness as two advantages over conventional energy. Renewable energy includes solar energy, hydropower, wind energy, marine energy, geothermal energy, hydrogen power, and biomass energy. A number of people also call these “green energies”
Sustainable energy is renewable and low in pollution and energy consumption. In addition, it is unaffected by energy shortages. However, they are influenced by natural conditions—for example, hydraulic, wind, and solar power generation are all necessarily dependent on resource availability. In addition, investment and maintenance costs are high, and efficiency is low. Therefore, the costs of power generation are high. A number of scientists are seeking new technologies and methods for improving renewable energy. Renewable energy is certain to play an increasingly critical role as Earth’s resources are depleted.
The SI provides a practical and comprehensive forum for exchanging novel research ideas or empirical practices which bridge the latest Renewable Energy, Energy Research, Sustainable energy.
The SI encompasses theoretical, analytical, empirical research, comprehensive reviews of relevant research, conceptual frameworks and case studies of effective applications in this area.

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. Applied Sciences 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 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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
