Flow and wakes in large wind farms in complex terrain and offshore [PDF]

, 2008
Power losses due to wind turbine wakes are of the order of 10 and 20% of total power output in large wind farms. The focus of this research carried out within the EC funded UPWIND project is wind speed and turbulence modelling for large wind farms ...

Field Studies on the Influence of High‐Voltage Direct Transmission Underground Cables on Soils Along the SuedLink Route in Southwest Germany

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
During regular operation of the SuedLink at a load ≤75 %, the average increase in temperature in the plowing horizon is expected to be less than 1.6°C in the soils along the route in Southwest Germany. ABSTRACT Background The SuedLink was planned as a high‐voltage direct‐current underground cable route. The construction itself is a massive intervention

Elasmobranchs in offshore wind farms

Ocean & Coastal Management
The development of offshore wind farms (OWFs) in coastal seas presents both risks and opportunities for threatened elasmobranch populations, but their actual influence on elasmobranch presence and habitat use remains unclear. As more OWFs are planned, the lack of available space puts pressure on stakeholders to create multi-use areas as demands from ...

Application of Electrical Resistance Probes for Corrosion Monitoring and Cathodic Protection Assessment of Offshore Structures

Materials and Corrosion, EarlyView.
A novel thick‐track electrical resistance probe with five sensing tracks was developed for offshore corrosion monitoring. The probe provides reliable, real‐time corrosion‐rate measurements in natural seawater. Corrosion‐rate trends showed strong agreement with weight‐loss coupon measurements.

Systems of reciprocity in human–ocean relationships: Across time, place, language and culture

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract In the face of large‐scale marine environmental challenges, solutions that meaningfully capture the complexity of socio‐cultural and economic factors contributing to such issues—and their solutions—are urgently needed. This scoping review explores examples of reciprocity in human–ocean relationships to inform the conceptual underpinning and ...

Comparing the economic feasibility of offshore floating wind and solar photovoltaic technologies in Central Mediterranean deep waters [PDF]

, 2015
Malta, being a very small and densely populated island in the central Mediterranean, has little space for large scale onshore wind turbine or photovoltaic projects. Maltese territorial waters are mostly too deep for conventional offshore wind farms

Operational strategies for offshore wind turbines to mitigate failure rate uncertainty on operational costs and revenue [PDF]

, 2014
Several operational strategies for offshore wind farms have been established and explored in order to improve understanding of operational costs with a focus on heavy lift vessel strategies. Additionally, an investigation into the uncertainty surrounding

Quantifying Migratory Bat Movements in Central Europe Across Seasons and Years Using a Vertical‐Looking Radar

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Vertical‐looking radar provides a first multi‐year analysis of migratory bat phenology in Europe. Bat activity was lowest in winter, increased from spring, and peaked in summer, with similar timing of pre‐ and post‐maternity migrations across years.
