Developing Offshore Wind Farms in Aotearoa New Zealand: An Analysis of Life Cycle Carbon Emissions, Materials and Energy Implications

open access: yesWind Energy
The technologies for offshore wind projects have evolved to larger wind turbines, which provide enhanced efficiency and power generation. Permanent magnet synchronous generators with a direct drive design have enabled these advancements.

Distributed control of a fault tolerant modular multilevel inverter for direct-drive wind turbine grid interfacing

open access: yes, 2012
Modular generator and converter topologies are being pursued for large offshore wind turbines to achieve fault tolerance and high reliability. A centralized controller presents a single critical point of failure which has prevented a truly modular and ...

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

open access: yesJournal 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

open access: yesConservation 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

open access: yesPublic 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 ...
