Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Guest Editor is inviting submissions to a Special Issue of Energies on the subject of “Advanced Hydrogen Technologies for Energy Production, Accumulation, Distribution and Energetic Equipment Repair”.
Hydrogen plays a key role in all five fundamental technologies in modern energetics: “green steel” production, energetic structural material chemical–heat treatment, cold working, mechanical and additive machining, and welding. On the other hand, hydrogen-containing alternative fuels and cooling technological environments in energetic equipment are integral in the degradation processes of applying structural materials.
Topics of interest in this Special Issue include the durability and long-term service of hydrogen turbines and hydrogen cooling turbogenerators, engine combustion chambers fueled by hydrogen-containing environments, hydrogen turbine discs and blades, the hot tracks of turbines, hydrogen cooling systems of turbogenerators, injectors and injection pumps based on the application of a new generation of hydrogen-resistant structural materials.
This Special Issue will focus on novel technologies of energy production on fossil and nuclear power plants, energy accumulation and distribution in large agglomerations using buffer infrastructure and grid connections, the repair and thermal protection of energetic equipment, taking into account hydrogen embrittlement in the course of long-term service, and determining the influence of hydrogen-containing fuels and lubricant-cooling environments on the durability of a new generation of structural materials.
This Special Issue will focus on, but is not limited to, the following themes:
- Advanced hydrogen technologies for energy production on fossil and nuclear power plants;
- Advanced “green” hydrogen technologies for energy accumulation and distribution in large agglomerations;
- Advanced “green home” hydrogen technologies;
- The repair and thermal protection of energetic equipment, taking into account hydrogen embrittlement in the course of long-term service;
- Modern hydrogen-containing fuel systems for modern engines and turbines;
- Advanced cooling methods and thermal protection for hydrogen turbine blades and discs, rotor-retaining rings and turbo aggregate units;
- Lubricant-cooling (liquid, solid, gaseous) hydrogen-containing technological environments applied in energy unit machining halls.

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.
