Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are currently inviting submissions for a Special Issue of Energies on the subject Feedback Control of Wind and Water Turbines. Turbines are a maturing area of energy harvesting in the field of renewables. Their economic viability depends on their efficient and effective ability to extract energy from natural flows. Feedback control enhances this effectiveness, reduces variability in operation, and increases the efficiency of operation of turbines from very small to extremely large. This Special Issue will present new results in the application of advanced feedback control strategies and methods in application to turbine speed regulation and energy extraction. Papers are solicited in all areas of the application of feedback control to turbine operation, from nonlinear approaches such as backstepping and neural networks to linear and quasi-linear techniques such as parameter varying and the use of optimal control.
Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to:
- Wind turbine control
- Water turbine control
- Applications of optimal and robust control to turbine systems
- Wind and water speed estimation
- Individual Blade control
- Generator and electronic systems control
- Blade vibration control methods
- Use of neural networks, machine learning and AI for modeling and control of turbines
- Adaptive methods in turbine control
- Linear parameter varying methods, gain scheduling and switching methods in turbine control
- Dynamic system modeling approaches to turbines

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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
