Renewable Energy Super Collection

Renewable Energy – Distribution Grid brings together a systematic collection of research addressing the key challenges of delivering reliable electric power of high quality to the consumers that is based on rising shares of distributed and intermittent renewables.
Research and review papers, as well as selected conference papers addressing all relevant ways challenges, approaches and technologies are considered, including simulation and modelling, power electronics, monitoring, and interfaces with generators as well as with transmission systems. The collection is meant to provide researchers and advanced students an orientation of the field, to point them to relevant workgroups, and to address current challenges. The collection will grow over time. There will be synergies with other collections within the Renewable Energy Super Collection.

Renewable Energy - Geothermal brings together a systematic collection of research addressing the key challenges of geothermal energy, for both electricity and heat provision. 

Research and review papers, as well as selected conference papers addressing all relevant ways to use geothermal energy are considered, including deep and near surface geothermal systems, exploration, wells, technological components like pumps, heat exchanger, turbine, and other. 
The collection is meant to provide researchers and advanced students an orientation of the field, to point them to relevant workgroups, and to address current challenges. The collection will grow over time. There will be synergies with other collections within the Renewable Energy Super Collection. 
 

Renewable Energy - Hydropower brings together a systematic collection of research addressing technologies and challenges for harvesting the power of water movement.

Research and review papers, as well as selected conference papers addressing all important ways to harness hydropower are considered, including e.g. tidal power, and wave and current devices. The collection is meant to provide researchers and advanced students an orientation of the field, to point them to relevant workgroups, and to address current challenges. The collection will grow over time. There will be synergies with other collections within the Renewable Energy Super Collection. 
 

Renewable Energy - Solar brings together a systematic collection of research addressing the key challenges of solar energy.

Research and review papers, as well as selected conference papers addressing all important ways to harness solar radiation are considered, including photovoltaics, concentrated solar power, solar-powered gas generation, solar heating, and other. The collection is meant to provide researchers and advanced students an orientation of the field, to point them to relevant workgroups, and to address current challenges. The collection will grow over time. There will be synergies with other collections within the Renewable Energy Super Collection.
