Renewable Energy Resource Assessment and Forecasting

In recent years several projects and studies have been launched towards the development and use of new methodologies in order to assess monitor and support clean forms of energy. Accurate estimation of the available energy potential is of primary importance but is not always easy to achieve. The present Special Issue on Renewable Energy Resource Assessment and Forecasting aims to provide a holistic approach to the above issues by presenting multidisciplinary methodologies and tools that are able to support research projects and meet todays technical socio-economic and decision-making needs. In particular research papers reviews and case studies on the following subjects are presented: wind wave and solar energy; biofuels; resource assessment of combined renewable energy forms; numerical models for renewable energy forecasting; integrated forecasted systems; energy for buildings; sustainable development; resource analysis tools and statistical models; extreme value analysis and forecasting for renewable energy resources.
