Boosting Wind Power Integration II

Dear Colleagues,

Wind energy is one of the most sustainable and important sources of energy accounting for 21% (591 GW) of the total of the total renewable electricity. Wind power faces important challenges in terms of promotion, development, operations, and maintenance. The hybridization of wind power with other renewable sources, interactions with the smart grid, microgrid development, and the positive impact on the electrical vehicle introduction are some of the hot topic in the wind power sector. The aim of this Special Issue is to encourage the publication of research results on new forms of hybridization, robust control, application of artificial intelligence, new electronics developments, applied to boost integration, and the use of wind power energy.

This Special Issue is looking for contributions on novel developments in battery hybridization, solar and wind integration, micro and smart grid control, balance of distribution grid using wind power, the use of wind power to reduce carbon emissions, machine learning and deep learning used to optimize operations and maintenance, fault-tolerant control on wind turbines and wind farms, and modeling and experimental analysis. Novel industrial applications will provide comprehensive knowledge on the actual benefits of wind power introduction.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
