Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The constant increase in renewable energy sources has resulted in a reduced carbon footprint and more environmentally friendly methods of generating electricity. However, there are many challenges and problems that need to be solved to effectively benefit from using renewable energy sources as dominant ones. One way to meet the demand for renewable energy is to install wind turbines, especially offshore ones. Offshore wind farms offer several advantages over onshore wind farms. They can take advantage of stronger and more consistent winds, leading to a higher energy production potential. Additionally, locating wind farms offshore can reduce visual and noise pollution and potential conflicts with land use.
However, offshore wind farms also present unique challenges. Construction and maintenance can be more complex and costly due to the remote locations and harsh marine environments. Environmental concerns, such as impacts on marine ecosystems and wildlife, also need to be carefully considered and mitigated.
In this Special Issue, we welcome papers on topics related to offshore wind farms, including the following:
- Construction and maintenance;
- Grid connection and transmission;
- Harsh marine environments;
- Social acceptance;
- Regulatory and permitting challenges;
- Supply chain and logistics;
- Energy storage;
- Others.

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.
