Identifying Suitable Sites for Wind Farm Development in the Coastal Areas: A Case of Northern Gulf of Oman, Iran

International Journal of Energy Research, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Constructing wind power plants is a multidimensional activity, which determines land potential based on a series of effective criteria and indicators. Accordingly, in the present study, a list of location indicators for wind farms development in the north of Oman Gulf (Sistan and Baluchistan Province) was presented through theoretical literature review

An Overview of VSC‐HVDC Systems and Challenges to Harvest Wind Energy Potential Considering South Asian Region as a Case Study

International Journal of Energy Research, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
The voltage source converter‐based high voltage direct current transmission (VSC‐HVDC) is considered the most appropriate option to harness the maximum potential of renewable energy, particularly offshore wind. With improved reliability and functionality of the network, reduced conversion losses, and reduced cost, the VSC‐based multiterminal direct ...

Predicting of Temporal-Spatial Sand Dunes Transition Caused by Marine Storms (Case Study: The Coast of Makran, Iran) [PDF]

تحقیقات کاربردی علوم جغرافیایی, 2019
Studies show that 14 provinces are impacted by wind erosion and the movement of sand dunes. The sand originated from the shores of Oman Sea is the most important environmental hazards that threaten the already large number of rural settlements.

Reevaluating historical tsunami hazards from the Makran subduction zone and local seismic sources along the Western Indian margin through numerical modelling

Geoscience Letters
The western coast of India is highly vulnerable to tsunami hazards due to its geographical proximity to the Makran Subduction Zone (MSZ), one of the most seismically active margins of the northern Indian Ocean.
