Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The study of hydraulic machines is crucial to guaranteeing a better understanding of the hydraulic behaviour of the water systems and, therefore, their responses in terms of energy consumption and system dynamics. Research into the behaviour of hydraulic machines, whether they operate as pumps or turbines (Francis, Pelton, or any other kind of turbines) or as pumps as turbines (PATs), improves our knowledge of them and enhances their sustainability. Also, considering the transient behaviour of these devices is important to preventing damage to and reductions in efficiency. This Special Issue aims to contribute to incorporating study methodologies that address numerical, analytical or experimental methods that help the scientific community to improve the management of the systems and, therefore, to achieve improvements in the evaluations of the different goals of the sustainable development objectives (SDGs)
Potential areas for research include new trends in impellers and rotational speed in pump; analysis of behaviour of pumps using different motors or materials; analysis of PV systems integrating the pumped system; and analysis of systems in terms of unsteady flow.

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.

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.
