Aim: Research and development efforts in wind, solar, and other renewable energy technologies are required to continue for improving their performance, establishing techniques for accurately predicting their output and reliably integrating them with other conventional generating sources, increasing the safety of energy supply, environmental protection and development of commercial-scale sustainable energy technologies.
Hybrid renewable energy systems (HRES) are becoming popular for remote area power generation applications due to advances in renewable energy technologies. Therefore all papers including hybrid wind/solar energy topics are welcomed.

Topics:
- CFD analysis on wind turbine rotor
- Small wind turbines models
- Optimizing wind turbine / hybrid-system performance
- Self-starting phase improvement
- Dynamic stall
- Aerodynamic design optimization of wind turbines (Rotor, Blades, Airfoils)
- Flow control
- Structural-response / Aeroelastic analysis
- Control methods of wind turbine during power production
- Hybrid PV/wind energy systems
- Computation of classes of models based on the experimental data
- Wind engineering
