ASME Journal Accepting Papers for Special Issue on Wind Energy Research

May 25, 2018

The ASME Journal of Energy Resources Technology is now accepting manuscripts for a special issue on wind energy research, which is expected to be published in February 2019. Authors who are interested in contributing to the special issue should submit their papers by June 1, 2018.

Wind power generation is a renewable, widely distributed form of energy that produces no greenhouse gas emissions and requires a small spatial footprint. The “Special Issue on Wind Energy Research” is envisioned as a collection of papers that deal with, but are not limited to, such topics as wind turbine aerodynamics; wind energy research design and development; wind turbine technologies for on-shore and off-shore wind farms; failure prevention, noise reduction and improvements in structural design; wind turbine structures and materials; wind power resource assessment; and structural and fatigue issues with wind turbines and foundations.

Other areas to be covered in the special issue will include terrain effects on wind farm power production; industrial perspectives on systems engineering practices; wind plant design and optimization; floating wind turbines; wind plant power generation; reliability, operations and maintenance; heat transfer issues on wind energy systems; and advanced designs of wind turbines.

The guest editors for the special issue are Ryo S. Amano, Ph.D., University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, U.S.A.; Ashwani Gupta, Ph.D., University of Maryland, U.S.A.; Bengt Sunden, Ph.D., Lund University, Sweden; and Christopher Niezrecki, Ph.D., University of Massachusetts Lowell, U.S.A.

Papers should be submitted via the ASME Journal Tool at http://journaltool.asme.org. Authors should note on their cover pages that their papers are intended for the “Special Issue on Wind Energy Research.”

Papers submitted by June 1, 2018, will be reviewed in time for inclusion in the special issue. However, authors are strongly encouraged to submit their manuscripts before that deadline. Papers received after June 1 may still be considered for the special issue, time and space permitting. Papers that are not ready for production in time for inclusion in the special issue may be considered for a regular issue of the journal.
