Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue provides a platform for current research developments in the field of wind energy. The global expansion of wind energy has significantly increased in recent years, both onshore and offshore. This growth can be attributed to growing awareness of the need to transition to renewable energy sources, advancements in turbine technology, and increasing investments. Wind energy is already making a substantial contribution to the electricity supply and the reduction in greenhouse gases in many countries. The further development of wind energy depends on various factors, including wind resources, available land, turbine characteristics, investments, and social acceptance.
This Special Issue will consider new and well-organized contributions addressing these factors, recent developments, and future perspectives related to wind energy.
Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to:
Wind resource and wind potential assessment;
Wind speed and wind power forecasting;
Wind resource availability under climate change;
Challenges of future wind energy expansion;
Socioeconomic factors of wind energy expansion;
Wind turbine design development.
