Abstract

"Ceux qui pensent que l'Europe est faible et inefficace se trompent. Mark Leonard, un des penseurs les plus visionnaires du Royaume-Uni, soutient la thèse que l'Europe est en train de façonner le monde à sa propre image. Si l'Europe semble moribonde, c'est parce qu'elle est vue à travers le regard de l'Amérique. Mais les objectifs de l'Amérique sont sommaires et étriqués. Elle a beau soudoyer, faire pression ou imposer sa volonté partout dans le monde, quand elle a le dos tourné, sa puissance s'évanouit. Les objectifs de l'Europe, eux, sont vastes, sa zone d'influence et ses valeurs s'étendent de l'Albanie jusqu'à la Zambie. Elle entraîne les autres nations dans son orbite plutôt qu'elle ne se définit contre elles et une fois celles-ci passées sous l'influence de ses lois et de ses coutumes, leur transformation est inévitable. Mark Leonard lance dans ce livre un défi aux eurosceptiques qui des deux côtés de l'Atlantique pensent que le temps de la vieille Europe est révolu : il démontre qu'il faut la considérer non pas comme un écheveau de bureaucraties et de lois, mais comme un modèle révolutionnaire pour l'avenir"--P. [4] de la couv.

Abstract

Photovoltaics, among the different renewable energy sources (RES), has become more popular. In recent years, however, many research topics have arisen as a result of the problems that are constantly faced in smart-grid and microgrid operations, such as forecasting of the output of power plant production, storage sizing, modeling, and control optimization of photovoltaic systems. Computational intelligence algorithms (evolutionary optimization, neural networks, fuzzy logic, etc.) have become more and more popular as alternative approaches to conventional techniques for solving problems such as modeling, identification, optimization, availability prediction, forecasting, sizing, and control of stand-alone, grid-connected, and hybrid photovoltaic systems. This Special Issue will investigate the most recent developments and research on solar power systems. This Special Issue “Computational Intelligence in Photovoltaic Systems” is highly recommended for readers with an interest in the various aspects of solar power systems, and includes 10 original research papers covering relevant progress in the following (non-exhaustive) fields: Forecasting techniques (deterministic, stochastic, etc.); DC/AC converter control and maximum power point tracking techniques; Sizing and optimization of photovoltaic system components; Photovoltaics modeling and parameter estimation; Maintenance and reliability modeling; Decision processes for grid operators.

Abstract

This Special Issue “Atmospheric Conditions for Wind Energy Applications” hosts papers on aspects of remote sensing for atmospheric conditions for wind energy applications. Wind lidar technology is presented from a theoretical view on the coherent focused Doppler lidar principles. Furthermore, wind lidar for applied use for wind turbine control, wind farm wake, and gust characterizations is presented, as well as methods to reduce uncertainty when using lidar in complex terrain. Wind lidar observations are used to validate numerical model results. Wind Doppler lidar mounted on aircraft used for observing winds in hurricane conditions and Doppler radar on the ground used for very short-term wind forecasting are presented. For the offshore environment, floating lidar data processing is presented as well as an experiment with wind-profiling lidar on a ferry for model validation. Assessments of wind resources in the coastal zone using wind-profiling lidar and global wind maps using satellite data are presented..

Abstract

Energy systems are transiting from conventional energy systems to modernized and smart energy systems. This Special Issue covers new advances in the emerging technologies for modern energy systems from both technical and management perspectives. In modern energy systems, an integrated and systematic view of different energy systems, from local energy systems and islands to national and multi-national energy hubs, is important. From the customer perspective, a modern energy system is required to have more intelligent appliances and smart customer services. In addition, customers require the provision of more useful information and control options. Another challenge for the energy systems of the future is the increased penetration of renewable energy sources. Hence, new operation and planning tools are required for hosting renewable energy sources as much as possible.
