Wind Turbines: Current Status, Trends and Challenges Technologies

Dear Colleagues,

We are inviting submissions to a Special Issue titled: Wind Turbines: Current Status, Trends and Challenges Technologies.

Wind turbines have been technologically upgraded in a significative way during the last 30 years. However, there is still progress to be made. Recent technological developments may have a considerable impact on new designs; in the processes of manufacturing, transportation and installation; and on the results of exploitation. Therefore, analyzing the current status of the technologies involved, focusing on current trends, and stating the  potential challenges that may be solved in the near future, are of high interest for researchers in this field.

In this Special Issue, we invite submissions that describe, review, or analyze the current status of wind turbines as well as related state-of-the-art technological trends and future challenges in win turbine designing, manufacturing, transportation, installation, and exploitation.
