Solar and wind power drive the defossilization of the energy system, but destabilize the power grid due to volatile availability and sensitivity to unfavorable weather. How to cope with the physically unavoidable fluctuations is a grand challenge that requires transdisciplinary efforts. In this workshop, some open issues in renewable energy are addressed from the perspective of fluid mechanics. The requirements for the design and operation of solar power plants and wind turbines are considered, and it is discussed how computational fluid dynamics and stochastic approaches offer new pathways.
