Abstract: Energy transition is one of the great challenges of the 21st century to mitigate the nefast effects of climate change. Renewable energy sources have a large potential to displace emissions of greenhouse gases from the combustion of fossil fuels and thereby to mitigate climate change. As a result, renewable energy is one of the most important research themes nowadays. The aim of this mini-symposium is to bring together researchers in computational mechanics, computer science, engineering and applied mathematics, and practitioners in wind energy systems, to provide an overview of advancements in theoretical, analytical, computational, and experimental research within the realm of wind energy and other renewable energy sources. Special attention is dedicated to introducing innovative concepts and methodologies pertaining to the computational modeling, structural analysis, soil-structure interaction, and design of wind energy systems and other renewable energy infrastructures. Topics of interest encompass a wide range of subjects such as wind turbine dynamics, modal analysis, aerodynamic analysis and optimization, fatigue assessment, vibration and noise mitigation, composite materials, offshore wind plants, grid integration, energy storage solutions, wind power potential estimate, and environmental impact assessment. Therefore, contributions across several research domains related to theoretical, analytical, numerical, and experimental aspects concerning the computational modeling, analysis, and design of wind energy and renewable energy systems, for instance, solar energy, hydrokinetic energy, hydroelectric energy, geothermal energy, ocean energy, biomass energy, renewable hydrogen are encouraged.
