EOLIEN TURBINES VERSUS OTHER SOURCES OF ENERGY POLLUTANTS [PDF]
Fiabilitate şi Durabilitate, 2017 In this paper we will present the differences between the production of electricity using wind turbines and the production of electric power by most other possible ways.Because thermoelectric power plants are the most widely used on a world scale, it ...

The Ancient Greek Datives in ‐essi: Contact or Independent Innovations?1
Transactions of the Philological Society, Volume 121, Issue 3, Page 357-381, November 2023., 2023 Abstract The Ancient Greek datives in ‐essi have posed a longstanding challenge in Greek linguistics, with their traditional categorisation as ‘Aeolic’ but their widespread presence across Aeolic and non‐Aeolic regions. This article investigates the origin and diffusion of this trait, examining both the early Greek evidence (in particular the Lesbian ...

Detection of wind turbines rotary motion by birds: A matter of speed and contrast
Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 5, Issue 10, October 2023., 2023 Some bird species may detect low‐speed rotation on wind turbines as static. A low contrast between the wind turbine and its background increases the rotation speed treshold at which this phenomenon appears. Automatic Detection Systems used to slow down wind turbines when birds are approaching may thus be counterproductive.

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, Volume 149, Issue 754, Page 1745-1768, July 2023 Part A., 2023 The jets' characteristics and variability have, on the whole, a low sensitivity to the continuity criteria used for detection. The jet core height and speed distributions, along with the annual cycle of occurrence, correspond to similar studies on sites more to the northeast. However, northeastly afternoon jets are the most frequent type over Dunkerque,

Animal Conservation, Volume 26, Issue 2, Page 264-275, April 2023., 2023 We demonstrate on a short‐lived, endangered raptor species, the Lesser kestrel, that additional mortality due to windfarms can have a negative impact on population growth rate. Although the impact is currently moderate, the forecasted decrease in immigration rate, and increase in the number of windfarms at a wider scale, may threaten the recovery of ...

Wind Turbines, Public Acceptance, and Electoral Outcomes
Swiss Political Science Review, Volume 28, Issue 4, Page 712-727, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Despite a widespread public support for wind energy in general, wind turbine proposals attract a considerable amount of public opposition. At a time of political commitments to building more wind turbines for climate risk mitigation, we study the potential causes of this opposition and its electoral effects.

Optimisation du dimensionnement d’un système hybride Eolien/Diesel
Journal of Renewable Energies, 2023 Actuellement, le générateur diesel est la solution technique la plus utilisée pour l’électrification des sites isolés. Néanmoins, l’accès à ces sites étant généralement long et difficile, les coûts de maintenance et d’approvisionnement en carburant sont très élevés, ainsi les émissions de gaz à effet de serre qui présentent un grand risque sur l ...

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 59, Issue 8, Page 2142-2153, August 2022., 2022 This study provides empirical evidence that wind turbines close to optimal habitats such as hedgerows strongly repel bats, while wind turbines located farther away in open areas could attract them. Increased risks of collisions and habitat losses near edges strengthen the importance of keeping wind turbines at a sufficient distance from woody edges (e ...
