Manuscript Topics

Among the countless problems faced by the mankind, energy supply is of doubtless importance, because of its direct relationship with quality of life and with the sustainability and health of the planet. All over the world, lifestyle requires more and more energy, but energy usage cannot be separated from the generation of an important ecological footprint. Over the last decades, renewable energies have been considered as a part of the solution, because of their tendency to generate energy by emitting lower greenhouse gases than other conventional sources. Wind energy can be considered as one of the most popular among of them. In line with this, it can be noticed that wind farms have been proliferating across the world since the second part of twentieth century. Initially, this was the case in western countries, but nowadays wind energy is being developed all over the world. Wind energy is becoming an indispensable part of the electrical mix in many countries.

In the near future, the next step regarding this kind of energy generation systems will consist of a concept known as smart wind farm. This involves a combination of two ideas, i.e., an optimized design of the wind farm together with smart ways of operation and control, focused more on the whole behavior of the plant than on the individual operation of the wind turbines installed inside. Coming back to the concerns regarding the ecological footprint, an important requirement in that near future will be to improve the efficiency of all energy generating processes, also those involving renewable energy. Smart wind farms should be commissioned to achieve such an efficiency, starting with their own design, and following with control during operation along their lifespan.

Papers regarding all subjects related to smart wind farms are welcomed to the special issue.
