I am trying to cite the full reference name in LaTex for a particular reference, however, it gives the Last Name-First Name format, when using \citet.

The BibTex entry is:-

@misc{tur_working,
    author       = {US Department of Energy},
    title        = {How Do Wind Turbines Work?},
    journal      = {Department of Energy},
    year         = 2019,
    url          = {https://www.energy.gov/eere/wind/how-do-wind-turbines-work}
}

And when cited in text, it appears as according to Energy(2019), whereas I would like it to be cited as according to US Department of Energy (2019). I don't want to change the complete structure of my other references, but just for this one reference, I want the author name to be mentioned in the simple sentence style. Any help is appreciated.

    By BibTeX's parsing rules, the entry's full name -- US Department of Energy -- has two given names (US and Department), a von component (of), and a surname component (Energy). By encasing the full name in **two** pairs of curly braces, one creates the impression that the name has a single component, which must be the surname component. That way, authoryear-style citation call-outs will be toUS Department of Energy, and the entry will be sorted underUrather than underE`. – Mico Aug 24 '19 at 18:03

I finally found the way out. By using {} in the author field in addition to the regular brackets, the full name is displayed. 

@misc{tur_working,

        author       = {{US Department of Energy}},
        title        = {How Do Wind Turbines Work?},
        journal      = {Department of Energy},
        year         = 2019,
        url          = {https://www.energy.gov/eere/wind/how-do-wind-turbines-work}
    }
