Summary
Wind energy, known as one of the clean and environmentally friendly renewable energy resources, is becoming more significant. Nevertheless, significant challenges remain in reducing the levelized cost of wind energy. Also, as wind moves offshore, with both fixed and floating options, there is further opportunity to use nascent technologies, such as Lidar measurement and wake control. This section aims to include contributions across the spectrum of scientific and engineering disciplines concerned with the development of wind energy technology, from fundamental device development/design, supporting technologies (control, condition monitoring, etc.), power conversion, to grid integration and associated storage technologies. Studies on hybrid systems (combined solar/storage/ hydrogen) are also encouraged. The special issue covers a wide range of topics, including:, but not limited to
• Wind resource assessment techniques;
• Wind rotors and blades;
• Wind turbine drive train technologies ( greabox, generator and power electronics);
• Wind turbines control, protection , state diagnostics;
• Operations and maintenance;
• Wind power plant modeling, design, installation, operation&control, performance optimization;
• Structural and mechanical aspects;
• Wind turbine in standalone system;
• Wind power economics;
• Wind power in power and multi energy systems.
