Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Guest Editor is inviting submissions to Special Issue of Energies on the high-temperature power units for electricity production to this Special Issue. The world's energy consumption is rising over the past 50 years due to population growth and the increasing industrialization of countries in the third tier. The emerging trend has predetermined several serious environmental consequences, among which is global warming. Environmental and energy safety can be improved by the implementation of effective high-temperature power units with low carbon dioxide emissions, including combined cycle power plants with carbon capture and storage working on natural gas, hydrogen, and synthetic gas, oxy-fuel combustion power cycles, and ultra-supercritical steam turbine power units. However, on the way to their creation, it is necessary to define optimal parameters and structure for thermal schemes and provide reasonable scientific solutions for power generation equipment. This Special Issue will deal with thermodynamic optimization and equipment development for high-temperature power units for electricity and heat production. Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to:
- Thermodynamic optimization of high-temperature power plants;
- Development of oxy-fuel combustion power cycles;
- Investigation of power plants with carbon capture and storage;
- Low-potential heat utilization for power plants;
- Power plants burning hydrogen and methane-hydrogen mixtures;
- Power plants with coal gasification and methane reforming;
- Cogeneration technologies;
- Energy equipment development.

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.
