“…With regard to the efficiency and system reliability, Daud and Ismail [14] have designed and analyzed a PV-wind-diesel hybrid system for a family house in Palestine. Taking into account the actual energy resources map in Tunisia, Colantoni et al [15] have developed a mathematical program to find the optimum dimension of hybrid PV-Wind power system. The authors have highlighted the potential of hybrid fossil renewable power plants to reduce fossil fuels import in Tunisia.…”

“…The feasibility study and assessments of wind energy resources for some of location of Tunisia like; Sidi Daoud [16,17], Gulf of Tunis [18,19], El-Kef region [20], and Tunisia [21,22], have been carried out in the literature by different researchers Dahmouni et al assessed the potential of wind energy and optimal electricity generation in BorjCedria in 2011 [23]. Analysis of wind power potential of morocco using weather data has been discussed by H. Nfaoui et al [24].…”

“…In particular, in the context of the Work Package 3 (WP3) objective, there is a need for innovation in the agricultural and forestry sectors for energy sustainability. Renewable energy sources and the rational use of energy represent an important agricultural and forestry resource in a local context against climate change [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. The current way to produce, convert, and consume energy throughout the world is not sustainable.…”

2 of 12 extent, though, according to the assessments made above about the potential of biomass as a source of energy, this share could be considerably higher than it is today [4,9,11]. From the shares of the currently used fossil energy carriers and the calculated biomass potential, the maximum reachable share of biomass to cover the energy demand can be calculated. The following enumeration shows the results of such calculations: (i) Biomass resources below 10 % of the fossil energy supply in the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg, United Kingdom, Germany, and Italy; (ii) biomass resources between 10 and 30% of the fossil primary energy consumption in Denmark, Spain, France, Greece, Portugal and Austria; (iii) biomass resources above 30% of the fossil primary energy consumption in Ireland, Sweden, and Finland. Additionally, the share of the already-used biomass is analyzed against the background of the overall available biomass resources. This shows that, in nearly all of the EU-countries, only slightly more than 25% of the available biomass resources are currently used. In most countries, the share is even significantly lower. It is only higher in countries where the energetic use of biomass is promoted by governmental measures. The increasing demand for energy and related environmental concerns are the main drivers for the strong interest in biomass residues in the agro-forestry sector and in appropriate small-scale energy conversion. Biomass residues (e.g., prunings, thinnings and forest residues) constitute a highly promising (and currently largely under-used) feed stock with a significant potential to be converted into useful end products. This Special Issue proposal has the overall aim of developing a network around technologies for small-scale energy conversion of forestry residues for local benefit and European competitiveness. The following targets will be addressed: (i) to improve knowledge of different energy conversion processes for forest residues; (ii) to develop an expert group on forest biomass supply chains; (iii) to identify best practice for sampling of available forest biomass residues; and (iv) to create agro-forestry-scale energy districts. The purpose of this Special Issue is to publish high-quality research papers, as well as review articles, addressing recent advances on systems, processes, and materials for work safety, health, and environment. Original, high-quality contributions that have not yet been published, or that are not currently under review by other journals or peer-reviewed conferences, are sought.
