Advanced Technologies of Renewable Energy Sources (RESs)

Dear Colleagues,

The global pursuit of sustainable development has brought renewable energy sources (RESs) to the forefront as crucial solutions for reducing carbon emissions and mitigating climate change. The integration of advanced technologies into RESs has significantly enhanced their efficiency, reliability, and feasibility, supporting the global transition to cleaner energy systems. This interdisciplinary field involves the latest innovations in solar, wind, hydro, biomass, and geothermal energy, as well as energy storage solutions and grid integration strategies.

Advances in these technologies have led to significant progress in areas such as energy harvesting, conversion efficiency, cost reduction, and the minimization of environmental impacts. However, as energy demands rise and climate imperatives become more pressing, there is a need for continued innovation, optimization, and comprehensive analysis to maximize the potential of renewable technologies.

This Special Issue on “Advanced Technologies of Renewable Energy Sources (RESs)” seeks high-quality works focusing on cutting-edge advancements in renewable energy technologies. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Innovations in solar photovoltaics and thermal systems;
• Next-generation wind turbine design and efficiency enhancement;
• Biomass and biofuel production technologies;
• Hydroelectric power systems and improvements;
• Geothermal energy utilization and technological advancements;
• Energy storage solutions for intermittent RESs;
• Smart grid integration and management of RESs;
• Hybrid renewable energy systems;
• Techno-economic analysis of renewable energy technologies;
• Policy and strategic planning for promoting RES adoption.

We encourage authors to submit original research articles, comprehensive review articles, and insightful short communications. Planned papers may be announced with a title and short abstract (around 100 words) submitted to the Editorial Office.
