Wind Energy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The installed wind energy capacity increases every year. However, operation and maintenance costs still make up a considerable portion of the levelized costs of electricity. This costs can be greatly reduced by the application of suitable early fault detection methods. The supervisory control and data acquisition system of wind turbines is one

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.

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 ...

Ocean Wave Modulation of Offshore Wind Turbine Loads and Wake
Wind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 6, June 2026.ABSTRACT This study examines how wave‐induced modulation affects the operational performance and structural dynamics of fixed‐bottom offshore wind turbines operating under a neutral atmospheric boundary layer profile. To capture these effects accurately while maintaining computational efficiency, unsteady RANS modelling techniques are employed.

Global estimations of wind energy potential considering seasonal air density changes [PDF]
, 2019 The literature typically considers constant annual average air density when computing the wind energy potential of a given location. In this work, the recent reanalysis ERA5 is used to obtain global seasonal estimates of wind energy production that ...

Determination of stress concentration factors in offshore wind welded structures through a hybrid experimental and numerical approach [PDF]
, 2019 Offshore wind turbine (OWT) monopile support structures generally consist of steel cans connected together through circumferential welding joints. One critical factor to evaluate the localised increase in stresses is the stress concentration factor (SCF)

Mooring of Floating Offshore Wind Turbines
, 2021 Målet med denne oppgaven var å undersøke hvilke instanser som er ansvarlige for å regulere offshore vind i Norge. Deretter forklarer oppgaven hvilke design for fortøyningssystemene som er tilgjengelige for flytende vindmøller i Norge. Til slutt foreslår oppgaven modifikasjoner som kan gjøres på ankerhåndteringsfartøyene til Solstad Offshore for at de ...

Wind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 6, June 2026.ABSTRACT Optimising turbine layouts to maximise power output is crucial for wind farm development, particularly in complex terrain where analytical wake models fail to capture key flow physics. We present the first application of Bayesian optimisation (BO) combined with large eddy simulations (LES) for utility‐scale wind farm layout optimisation in ...
