Summary

We invite submissions to a Special Issue focused on advancing technologies to enhance the efficiency of wind power conversion, both offshore and onshore, for electricity production. Improving these technologies is crucial for the global energy transition. The large-scale deployment of wind power raises both technical and non-technical challenges, and it is essential to exploit its potential in a sustainable and efficient manner. In the current context of promoting renewable energy to reduce pollution, increasing the efficiency of unconventional energy production systems is vital. This includes the development of robust technical control systems for monitoring, protection, signaling, and fault diagnosis, as well as remote monitoring to optimize maintenance and operational safety.

 

We welcome original research papers on innovative contributions related to the following topics (non-exhaustive list):

Development of resource assessment techniques, modeling, and control algorithms

Environmental sustainability of wind power energy systems

Innovations in Wind Energy System Design and Control

Operations and Maintenance of Wind Energy Systems

Condition Monitoring and Early Diagnosis in Wind Energy Systems

Application of artificial intelligence in wind power systems

    Maximizing Wind Farm Power Output through Site-Specific Wake Model Calibration and Yaw Optimization

    Yang Liu, Lifu Ding, Zhenfan Yu, Tannan Xiao, Qiuyu Lu, Ying Chen, Weihua Wang
    Energy Engineering, Vol.122, No.11, pp. 4365-4384, 2025, DOI:10.32604/ee.2025.068712

    Abstract Wake effects in large-scale wind farms significantly reduce energy capture efficiency. Active Wake Control (AWC), particularly through intentional yaw misalignment of upstream turbines, has emerged as a promising strategy to mitigate these losses by redirecting wakes away from downstream turbines. However, the effectiveness of yaw-based AWC is highly dependent on the accuracy of the underlying wake prediction models, which often require site-specific adjustments to reflect local atmospheric conditions and turbine characteristics. This paper presents an integrated, data-driven framework to maximize wind farm power output. The methodology consists of three key stages. First, a practical simulation-assisted… More >

    The Overcurrent Limiting Method of GF-SVG in a Wind Farm Based on Adaptive Virtual Reactance

    Jikai Chen, Jiawei Wang, Jiayang Zhang, Shuangshuang Yao, Qianxin Li, Haoru Li
    Energy Engineering, Vol.122, No.9, pp. 3703-3718, 2025, DOI:10.32604/ee.2025.066620

    Abstract As a new dynamic reactive power compensator, the grid-forming Static Var Generator (GF-SVG) can not only provide reactive power-voltage support, but also has inertial support capability. It has been experimentally deployed in many wind farms. However, studies have shown that when the three-phase short-circuit fault occurs in the wind farm, the transient overcurrent during the fault occurrence and fault clearance is suppressed, making it difficult for GF-SVG to use traditional fixed virtual impedance. Aiming at the problem, firstly, the influence of virtual reactance on control stability is analyzed using the GF-SVG’s current open-loop transfer function.… More >

    A Non-Unit Protection Based on Propagation of Fault Traveling Wave for Transmission Line Connected to Wind Power Plant

    Hao Wang, Wenyue Zhou, Yiping Luo
    Energy Engineering, Vol.122, No.9, pp. 3737-3752, 2025, DOI:10.32604/ee.2025.067938
    (This article belongs to the Special Issue: Integrated Technology Development and Application of Wind Power Systems)
    Abstract Currently, renewable energy has been broadly implemented across diverse sectors, particularly evidenced by its substantially higher integration levels in power systems. The large-scale integration of renewable energy resources introduces distinct fault characteristics into power grids, potentially rendering traditional line protection schemes inadequate for transmission lines interfacing with these sources. Therefore, it is imperative to study line protection methods unaffected by the integration of renewable energy resources. After analyzing the propagation process of the fault traveling wave along the transmission line, a non-unit protection based on traveling wave distance measurement is proposed. The core principle of… More >

    A Partitioned Yaw Control Algorithm for Wind Farms Using Dynamic Wake Modeling

    Yinguo Yang, Lifu Ding, Yang Liu, Bingchen Wang, Weihua Wang, Ying Chen
    Energy Engineering, Vol.122, No.7, pp. 2571-2587, 2025, DOI:10.32604/ee.2025.065716
    (This article belongs to the Special Issue: Integrated Technology Development and Application of Wind Power Systems)
    Abstract This paper addresses the complexity of wake control in large-scale wind farms by proposing a partitioning control algorithm utilizing the FLORIDyn (FLOW Redirection and Induction Dynamics) dynamic wake model. First, the impact of wakes on turbine effective wind speed is analyzed, leading to a quantitative method for assessing wake interactions. Based on these interactions, a partitioning method divides the wind farm into smaller, computationally manageable zones. Subsequently, a heuristic control algorithm is developed for yaw optimization within each partition, reducing the overall computational burden associated with multi-turbine optimization. The algorithm’s effectiveness is evaluated through case More >
