Manuscript Topics

In recent decades, energy demand of the world has increased drastically due to urbanization, modernization, and industrialization. To meet the energy demand in ecologic system and limited resources of fossil fuels, the world is looking for the alternative energy resources. Since we cannot survive without the sustainability of our mother nature, we need to seek a way to sustain our growth in harmony with nature. Renewable energy is an inevitable alternative for sustainable economic growth and the harmonious coexistence of human and environment. Renewable energy does not pollute environment and could be recycled in nature. However, there are some challenges facing the efforts to increase renewable energy use such as their high-up front costs and related insufficient cost effectiveness. The well-known renew-able energy alternatives are geothermal, hydropower, wind, solar, and biomass. Decision making among renewable energy alternatives is a multi-criteria problem including many conflicting issues.
The applications of soft intelligent computing in the renewable energy field are becoming increasingly important in the current scenario. Computers aid in developing a fully automated system, which would help in accurate manipulation of Informatics. The accuracy of the computer-aided systems is highly superior to the manual observations and hence the physicians significantly prefer automated systems. During the previous decade, soft computing has emerged as potential candidates for solving complex and intricate global optimization problems, which are otherwise difficult to solve by traditional methods. In present scenario Image Processing, signal processing, Industrial optimization, Control system applications and power system applications fields have challenging deeds which is to be unraveled by researchers. They are applying soft intelligent computing techniques for solving such problems. Some popular soft computing techniques for Global Optimization include Genetic Algorithms (GA), Differential Evolution (DE), Ant Colony Optimization (ACO), Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Artificial Bee Colony (ABC),Firefly Algorithm (FFA) algorithm etc. and some machine learning techniques such as ANN, Fuzzy logic, Neuro-fuzzy, etc. These methods have been successfully applied to a wide range of benchmark and real-world application problems. This special issue is an ideal platform for the researchers to come out with innovative ideas and approaches in the area of Information Technology. This issue is devoted to the soft computing techniques for all possible applications of Renewable Energy systems
