WIND ENERGY

http://www.interscience.wiley.com/jpages/1095-4244/info.html

Wind Energy offers a major forum for the reporting of advances in this rapidly developing technology with the goal of realising the world-wide potential to harness clean energy from the wind. The journal will aim to reach all those with an interest in this field from academic research, industrial development through to practical applications of wind turbines. Contributions across the spectrum of scientific and engineering disciplines concerned with the advancement of wind power conversion technology are an essential feature of the journal.

Principal Topics

• Wind rotor technology - aerodynamics, aeroacoustics, wakes, blade design.
• Structural and mechanical engineering of wind power - drive trains, hydraulics, fluid mechanics and mechanical components.
• Electrical engineering of wind power - electrical components, power electronics and controls, generators, grid connection, power transmission and distribution.
• Dynamics and control - materials, fatigue, testing, reliability and certification.
• Resource assessment - prediction, modelling, wind farm planning, siting (including off-shore developments), economics and environmental issues.
• Systems - design, installation, operation, performance, optimisation and control; small, hybrid and autonomous systems and applications other than grid connection such as desalination, water pumping and heating.
