Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Renewable energies must offer new perspectives for the replacement of long-term fuels. However, renewable energy sources, unlike fossil energies, are present as an energy flow rather than reserves. This particularity leads to the need for optimal and intelligent management of renewable resources. The management of this energy faces several problems: Obtaining this energy is often intermittent and entails a degradation of the facilities or machinery. In addition, it needs continuous repairs and labor to ensure that the operation is as optimal as possible considering multiple factors, such as forecasting, weather, fault detection, condition monitoring, electricity demand, etc.
This Special Issue focuses on the analysis of the most innovative maintenance management systems and contemplates proposals for an immediate future to implement more efficient systems than the current ones. New models, approaches, and cases studies are intended to be considered in this Special Issue, which will seek to reduce operation and maintenance costs and increase the productivity and competitiveness of renewable energy plants.
