Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In recent decades, wind power generation has experienced a rapid increase, and the global installed wind power capacity is predicted to be up to 5806GW by 2050. The increasing penetration of wind power in electrical networks has presented various challenges and threats to the power grid. The aging of the deployed turbines has also increased the demand for operation optimization and intelligent maintenance of wind farms. Moreover, offshore wind turbines are faced with harsher and more uncertain environments, which require more research efforts on diagnosis and prognostics. Recently, the rise of intelligent technologies including machine learning, intelligent control, 5G tech, etc. has attracted attention from both the academic and industrial communities. Hence, the aim of this Special Issue is to critically address the challenges and issues concerned with wind energy and provide appropriate solutions to enhance wind power generation. Topics of interest for publication include but are not limited to the following:

  • Grid integration of wind power.
  • Wind power forecasting.
  • Wind-energy-based hybrid systems.
  • Information and communication technologies for wind power.
  • Floating offshore wind power technologies.
  • Energy storage systems for wind power integration.
  • Intelligent control and optimization of wind turbines.
  • Security of wind power generation.
  • Wind-turbine wake.
  • wind-farm optimization.

Wind energy has become one of the world’s most renewable energy sources in recent years. It is regarded as a clean energy source because it produces no greenhouse gas emissions. The assessment of wind energy resources is an important step in the development of any wind energy conversion system (WECS). As a result, this article examines the wind energy potential of nine Jordanian wind locations: Queen Alia Airport, Civil Amman Airport, King Hussein Airport, Irbid, Mafraq, Ma’an, Ghor Al Safi, Safawi, and Irwaished. The available wind speed data were implemented using three statistical distribution models, Weibull, Rayleigh, and Gamma distributions, and one traditional estimation method, the Maximum Likelihood Method (MLM). Three optimization techniques were used to assign parameters to each distribution model: Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Grey Wolf Optimizer (GWO), and Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA). To determine the optimal distribution model, the performance of these distribution models was tested. According to the findings, King Hussein Airport features the highest wind power density, followed by Queen Alia Airport, while Irbid features the lowest, followed by Ghor Al Safi. Full article
