Description
There has been extensive demand and attraction for renewable energies due to their considerable advantages over fossil-based fuels. These include solar, wind, hydro, biomass, and hydrogen energy. However, renewable energy production, transmission, and application are associated with serious safety, resilience, and reliability issues, which need to be examined in life cycle of renewable energies infrastructures to establish resilient and sustainable operations. Considering the unique properties of renewable energies, which are different compared to non-renewable ones, their safety, resilience, and reliability concerns have attracted considerable interest in recent years. Accordingly, this Special Issue focuses on system safety and human factors, risk and reliability analysis, asset integrity management, and accident modeling at different stages of lifecycle renewable energies from production to application.Potential topics include but are not limited to:
Systematic, critical, content, and bibliometric review in renewable energy;
System safety and human factors analysis in renewable energy;
Recent advancements in reliability and risk assessment methods in renewable energy;
Accident investigation and lessons learned associated with renewable energy;
Safety, resilience, and reliability concerns in the sustainable design of renewable energy infrastructure;
Uncertainty handling and decision making in safe and resilient operation of renewable energy infrastructure;
Emerging computational modeling and simulation software trends for consequence modelling accidents (e.g., fire, explosion, dispersion);
The applications of machine learning and data mining in risk management of renewable energy;
Digitalization, cybersecurity, and natural disaster protection in renewable energy systems.
