Technical Problems in the Production and Distribution of Energy from Renewable Energy Sources

Dear Colleagues,

The current development of the energy sector is mainly focused on renewable energy sources. It is a global trend reinforced by political, environmental and, recently, economic directives. Even resistance to new technologies in renewable energy sources has no effect on their progress, as the development of this field of energy is becoming a global trend. The improvement in the functioning of renewable energy sources is influenced by activities on many levels, starting from political, legal and economic guidelines; through to technical aspects in production, cooperation with other energy sources, transmission in a distributed network and changing the direction of energy flow; and ending with the optimization of energy consumption in the design, production and operation process. In addition to the above aspects, the most important consideration is ensuring the continuity of energy supplies and their quality.

The background and objectives of this Special Issue focus on research challenges and trends in renewable energy sources. In addition to electricity, there are other types of energy to be aware of in stationary and mobile solutions. Therefore, articles dealing with the above problems concerning all stages of energy production and operation of technological devices will be welcome. Undoubtedly, the materials describing completed concepts that have already been implemented or are on the verge of implementation will be of particular value for the reader.
