Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The dynamic nature of small islands being geographically isolated and their perceived connectedness with global networks complicates research attempts to draw general conclusions on whether insularity leads to marginalization or strengthens their resilience for sustainable development.

Prediction of wake effects on wind farm power production using a RANS approach. Part II. Offshore: Case studies from the UPWIND project [PDF]
, 2011 The estimation of power losses due to wind turbine wakes is crucial to understanding overall wind farm economics. This is especially true for large offshore wind farms, as it represents the primary source of losses in available power, given the regular ...

What to expect from a greater geographic dispersion of wind farms? - A risk portfolio approach [PDF]
, 2007 The UK, like many other industrialised countries, is committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions under the Kyoto Protocol. To achieve this goal the UK is increasingly turning towards wind power as a source of emissions free energy.

Wind farm wake effects at the Alpha Ventus offshore wind farm
, 2021 As wind energy grows to a significant contributor to the electricity production mix, the number of wind farms with large turbines, especially offshore, increases as well. This leads to wind farms being built closer to each other to increase spatial power density.

Practical Methodology for Developing Visions for Carbon‐Neutral Cities and Communities
Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Cities and communities play important roles in sustainable development and climate change mitigation. This study presents a novel framework for developing carbon‐neutral visions for cities and communities. We established five “principles,” investigated options encompassing four parameters (management, goal setting, actions, and quantification),

Analysis of North Sea offshore wind power variability [PDF]
, 2014 This paper evaluates, for a 2030 scenario, the impact on onshore power systems in terms of the variability of the power generated by 81 GW of offshore wind farms installed in the North Sea.

Strategic Optimization of Offshore Wind Farm Installation [PDF]
, 2017 This work describes logistical planning of offshore wind farm (OWF) installation through linear programming. A mixed integer linear programming (MILP) model is developed to analyze cost-effective port and vessel strategies for offshore installation operations.

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

Shortlist Masterplan Wind Ship-based monitoring of seabirds and cetaceans [PDF]
During April 2010 – February 2011, monthly surveys of seabirds and marine mammals were conducted aboard ships engaged in plankton surveys. After many years of little or no effort in far offshore areas of the DCS, this series of surveys provided the first

300 Years of Degradation in Wales Estuaries and Coasts
Natural Resources Forum, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The world's oceans are in a severe state of degradation, yet our understanding of that degradation is often based on changes observed only in the past 20–50 years. This narrow view leads to marine conservation efforts that aim to preserve already degraded ecosystems, shaped by shifted ecological baselines.
