Offshore wind farm avoidance by a discard‐feeding seabird is independent of local fishing activity

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Fishing is not allowed within wind farms; therefore, discard‐feeding seabirds may appear to avoid wind farm areas. We found that most Lesser Black‐backed Gulls avoided the wind farm area, but not each individual in each period. Avoidance of the wind farm was not driven by fishing exclusion within its perimeter.

Estimating the total mortality of seabirds following a marine heat wave

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Marine heat waves detrimentally affect a range of marine species, including seabirds, and are increasing in frequency and severity. When thousands of dead seabirds wash up on beaches, the public becomes concerned. However, the number of dead birds recorded on beaches is only a fraction of the total mortality; most birds perish at sea.

Laser Wind Sensor Performance Validation with an Existing Gage

, 2013
A new approach to laser wind sensor measurement validation is described and demonstrated. The new approach relies on the paired-t statistical method to generate a time series of differences between two sets of measurements.

Global Dynamic Response of a Medium-Sized Floating Offshore Wind Turbine with Stall Regulation

, 2021
In this paper, a two-bladed medium-sized floating wind turbine with variable speed and power regulation by stall is studied. For floating offshore wind turbines, the major challenges are related to the dynamical behavior of the system in response to ...

The Power of Renewal: Status Quo Bias Impacts Voter Approval of School Spending Referendums

Public Budgeting &Finance, EarlyView.
Abstract Status quo bias often impacts decisions about private goods and is hypothesized to influence voter choice. This paper offers a clean, direct, real‐world test of status quo bias's effect on voter support for school spending. We take advantage of a unique Minnesota rule that requires ballot language to disclose and distinguish between new and ...

Estimating Wind‐Power Capacity Time Series From Production Data Using a Power Curve Model and Quadratic Optimization

Wind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Accurate, time‐resolved installed capacity data are crucial for forecasting and analysing wind‐power production. The time series of installed capacity is often only approximately known in regions with rapid wind power development. Public wind power databases may only be updated yearly and installation dates may not be differentiated within ...

Key Drivers for Offshore Wind Deployment in the Western United States

Wind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The western coast of the United States has abundant natural resources, including wind, sun, and water. Despite strong ocean winds, offshore wind energy (OSW) in the Western United States is in the early stages of technology development due largely to the deep water off the coast, which requires floating platforms rather than fixed‐bottom ...

Research on the Effect of a Heave Plate on the Dynamics of the Floating Wind Turbine Using Model Tests

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
The increasing demand to harness offshore wind resources has pushed offshore wind turbines into deeper waters, making floating platforms more economically feasible than bottom-fixed ones.
