Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, the wind energy community has started to recognize the impact of various weather phenomena (e.g., low-level jets, downbursts) on wind energy production and structural loading. At the same time, intriguing atmosphere–wind farm interactions (e.g., global blockage effect, deep array effect) have been discovered, and their relationship to atmospheric stability conditions has been quantified. Owing to the tremendous advances in the arena of deep learning and data science, significant progress has also been made in wind resource assessment, micrositing, and wind power forecasting during this period. Some of these new findings have been reported in recent conferences and workshops. We believe that the time is opportune to devote a Special Issue to these various new findings pertaining to wind power meteorology. Specifically, we welcome articles on the following topics (including but not limited to):
Wind resource estimation and micrositing
- Flow over complex terrain;
- Offshore wind resource;
- High-altitude wind resource;
- Novel instrumentations (e.g., scanning lidar, ADM-aeolus);
- Advanced numerical modeling (e.g., gray-zone and large-eddy simulations);
- Physical and statistical downscaling;
- Uncertainty quantification;
- Impact of low-level jets, land-sea breeze circulations, etc.;
Wind farm wakes
- In situ and remote sensing of wakes;
- Parameterization and modeling of wakes;
- Model intercomparison studies
Wind farm–atmosphere interactions
- Global blockage effect;
- Deep array effect;
- Farm–farm interactions
Wind forecasting
- Numerical weather prediction;
- Data-based forecasting;
- Hybrid approaches;
- Seasonal forecasting;
Wind ramps and associated weather phenomena
- Frontal passage;
- Thunderstorm outflow;
- Dry line;
Extreme winds and their impact on loadings
- Wind gust;
- Downburst, tornado, waterspout;
- Tropical and mid-latitude cyclones;
Microclimatic impacts of wind farms
Future wind energy developments in a changing climate.

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.
