Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
I am pleased to invite you to submit a technical paper to this Special Issue, which is focused on the hybridisation of conventional gas turbines with high-temperature solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC). Hybrid systems have been capturing researchers’ attention worldwide for their promise of unprecedented efficiency (>65%), despite their small size, coupled with almost negligible emissions. However, technical and cost barriers still hinder their deployment on a large scale. Even if performance features have been deeply analysed in the past, new options have been investigated recently that may help overcome some control problems, including startup and shutdown. This Special Issue aims to collect the most up-to-date contributions on such topics, ranging from experimental to theoretical activities, both at the component level and the system level. Innovations in methods are also welcome, including the cyberphysical system approach, i.e. integrating physical components with virtual components in unique ensembles.
Prof. Dr. Alberto Traverso

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.
