The Guest Editors are inviting submissions for a Special Issue of\u00a0Energies\u00a0on the subject area of Advances in Fluid Power Systems. Fluid power systems (hydraulic and pneumatic drives and control) involve the use of fluid properties to generate, control, and transmit power using pressurized fluid flow. Fluid power systems are simple and easy to use, which can accurately control position, speed, force, and torque, and are economical and safe to operate. The fluid power system sector is undergoing tremendous expansion, invigorating strategic companies\u2014power engineering, oil and gas industry, mining industry, shipbuilding, steel industry, machine industry, and metal processing. There are major challenges for fluid power systems, such as increasing energy efficiency, improving reliability, building smart components and systems, reducing the size and weight of components, reducing environmental impact, improving the capabilities for recovery and storage of energy for reuse, digitalization, and 5G wireless connectivity of smart components. Advances in fluid power systems are leading to the creation of new smart devices replacing tried-and-true solutions of the past. This Special Issue focuses on the recent advances and smart of fluid power systems in a wide range of topics, including the following:\u00a0Fluid power to the IoT and Industry;\u00a0Smart fluid power technology;\u00a0Wireless 5G connectivity in fluid power;\u00a0Smart components and sensors;\u00a0Fluid power in the renewable energy sector;\u00a0Hydraulic drivetrains for wind power;\u00a0Hydraulic drivetrains for wave and marine current power;\u00a0Hydraulic systems for solar power;\u00a0Fluid power hybrid;Hybrid transmissions;\u00a0Energy recovery and accumulation;\u00a0Energy efficiency of hybrid drives;\u00a0Industrial and mobile fluid power;\u00a0Industrial fluid power solutions;\u00a0Mobile fluid power solutions;\u00a0Energy efficiency solutions for fluid power systems;\u00a0Environmental aspects of fluid power;\u00a0Water hydraulic control technology;\u00a0Noise and vibration of fluid power components;\u00a0Safety, reliability, fault analysis and diagnosis of fluid power systems;\u00a0Fluid Power and Mechatronic Systems;\u00a0Servo-drive control systems;\u00a0Fluid power drives in manipulators and robots;\u00a0Fluid power in autonomous solutions.
