Renewable Energy Resource Assessment

Dear Colleagues, 

Resource assessment is essential for any energy plan within a policy or industry. As renewable energy has regional and temporal characteristics, resource assessment methods must be studied. Research on renewable energy resource assessment can increase the efficiency and values of renewable energy planning. This Special Issue is focused on novel approaches, meaningful insights, and new ways to solve existing problems for resource assessment. Renewable energy resource assessment has been conducted with various models and presented in various forms. Physical simulation and empirical regression have been studied for fundamental resource estimation. Geographic information systems or remote sensing techniques have been used for detailed assessment. Recently, machine learning has also has been studied for resource assessment. Estimated resources have been classified into various types of potential such as technical and economical depending on the purpose and data. The results have been produced in various forms such as the calculation model, two-dimensional map, and three-dimensional structure. This Special Issue will focus on all types of these studies but is not limited to them. Authors who are interested in resource assessment are invited to submit their manuscripts for publication in this Special Issue.
