Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The growing evolution of installed wind power onshore and especially offshore, and given the sharp increase in the exploitation of this resource in deep waters, is allowing for the installation of increasingly high-power units. As a result, the operation of these large wind farms, together with all the wind power produced at certain times of the day, places excess production of power onto the grid that outstrips the needs of consumers.
There is, therefore, a need to store this energy for use at times when demand peaks. The unpredictability of this resource makes storage indispensable and pumping will, therefore, be one solution among others.. Wind production and storage will be the decisive factors for future energy sustainability.
This Special Issue addresses the above-mentioned issues and aims to gather recent research works that provide advances in wind energy and storage systems as factors in energy sustainability.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome and research areas may include, but are not limited to:
- Wind energy production and storage;
- Optimization of offshore wind power generation;
- Analysis of wind energy production offshore;
- Offshore renewable energy;
- Photovoltaic production systems and their complementarity with wind systems;
- Carbon emissions and renewables in the future power system;
- Standardization of power-from-shore grid connections for offshore wind;
- Electrical interconnection networks.

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. Sustainability 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 2400 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.
