Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Guest Editors are inviting submissions to a Special Issue on the control and monitoring of turbines in electricity production systems from renewable sources.
Monitoring and control of renewable energy production systems (e.g., microhydroturbines, wind power plants, photovoltaic power plants, fuel cells, geothermal) is important and widely used to streamline electricity production.
Hydropower, biofuel, and geothermal plants as well as wind farms will be a mainstay of the global energy transition, but large-scale deployment will present a number of technical and non-technical challenges for exploiting the potential of energy in a sustainable way.
In the actual context of encouraging the reduction of pollution by expanding the use of renewable energy resources, it is necessary to increase the efficiency of energy production systems based on unconventional resources.
Within technical control systems, surveillance functions must also be performed, which are put in practice through automatic monitoring, protection, signaling, and fault diagnosis. Early identification of faults and breakdowns leads to savings and improves the security of electricity supply. Remote monitoring of renewable energy power systems has the purpose to reduce the response time in the maintenance and troubleshooting process, as well as increase the optimization of the controlled systems. Therefore, monitoring and control of those systems are essential to ensure operational safety and performance.
We are looking for original papers on innovative contributions, based on the (non-exclusive) following topics:
- Development of resource assessment techniques, modeling, control algorithms;
- Environmental sustainability of energy systems;
- Concept innovations systems: design, installation, operation, performance, optimization, and control;
- Operations and maintenance: reliability, maintainability, predictive maintenance, economics;
- Condition monitoring, early diagnosis;
- Artificial intelligence.

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.
