**Renewable Energy and Sustainable Development (RESD)** is a biannual, peer-reviewed international journal that offers a global platform for the dissemination of cutting-edge research, case studies, and reviews focusing on renewable energy and its role in promoting sustainable development. Indexed in **Scopus** since 2021, RESD is committed to advancing knowledge and fostering innovation in the rapidly evolving fields of energy and sustainability.
The journal serves as a crucial resource for researchers, scientists, engineers, policymakers, and institutions worldwide, keeping them informed on the latest theoretical and practical advancements in renewable energy technologies. RESD welcomes experimental, computational, and theoretical studies across a broad spectrum of renewable energy topics, including but not limited to: - Wind energy; - Solar power; - Wave and tidal energy; - Hydropower; - Geothermal energy; - Hydrogen and fuel cells; - Energy from biomass and biofuels; - Energy savings and efficiency.
A focal point of RESD is the integration of renewable energy technologies into electrical power networks and smart grids. The journal also places significant emphasis on sustainable development, a multidisciplinary field that addresses how energy technologies can align with the UN Millennium Development Goals and ongoing efforts to achieve sustainable economic and social growth, particularly in transition economies.
In addition to its focus on innovative research, RESD encourages the submission of case studies that explore the nexus of renewable energy and sustainable development.
