Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Wind power is one of the fastest-growing renewable energy technologies. Offshore wind has an immense growth potential and must be exploited to reduce our carbon emissions and achieve our sustainability goals. Modern offshore wind turbines are the largest rotating machines on the planet and are being scaled up drastically. The Vestas V236-15.0 MW, that is expected to be in operation by 2024, has a rotor diameter of 236m.
These large rotating machines present considerable challenges on the modelling and analysis front. These include large deformation analysis of multibody systems, soil–structure interaction, fluid–structure interaction, and the electromechanical interaction.
This Special Issue aims to present the most recent advances related to the theory, design, modelling, analysis, and control of floating offshore wind turbines.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Dynamic modelling and analysis of offshore wind turbines;
- Soil–structure interaction in relation to offshore wind turbines;
- Fluid-structure interaction in relation to offshore wind turbines;
- Grid interaction of offshore wind turbines;
- Advances in control systems;
- Condition monitoring and preventative maintenance;
- Fatigue life analysis;
- Fault-tolerant machines;
- Advances in modelling approaches;
- In-depth analysis and case studies;
- Reliability analysis;
- Uncertainty quantification.

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.
