Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Energy is critical to economic development and social prosperity, as well as playing a key role in driving innovation. Rapidly increasing energy demand has brought the world to the brink of a global energy crisis. In addition, the widespread use of conventional energy sources is polluting the environment and contributing to global warming.
Wind and other renewable energy sources are viable and clean alternatives to fossil fuels. Low operating costs and widespread availability make wind one of the most beneficial and efficient renewable energy sources. This Special Issue will highlight the use of wind power and the importance of improving energy efficiency as key elements in achieving an economically and ecologically sustainable energy future.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Future prospects for innovative technologies in wind power generation;
- Key elements driving the development of wind power;
- Renewable energy integration in microgrids;
- Distributed energy generation;
- Wind power prediction;
- Application of energy storage system in wind power;
- Application of data analysis in wind power systems;
- Integration of wind power with regional and microgrids;
- Application of advanced technology in wind power generation system;
- The impact of wind power on the grid.
We look forward to receiving your contributions
