Energy for sustainable development Special issue on wind energy
The rapid growth in utility scale wind power generation in the last decade suggests that wind power is, in many ways, a mature technology. ESD focuses on development and generally considers technologies that are promising and likely to be viable in the near term, including economic and policy analysis recommendations. Highly technical papers and those addressing technical details are left to journals focusing on specialized disciplines. However, because of the technical maturity of wind power, papers that would normally be considered too technical and esoteric for this journal are included in this special issue selection.
