Offshore Wind Energy: Simulating Local Offshore Wind Turbine

, 2018
Dominion Virginia Energy is looking at the possible creation of an offshore wind plant as a renewable source of electricity to be located off the coast of Virginia Beach. This thesis reports on a computer simulation based on local wind conditions and possible single wind turbine installation.

Shark preferences: Only subtle effects of electromagnetic field exposure and substrate type on small‐spotted catshark (Scyliorhinus canicula) behaviour

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Offshore wind energy plays a crucial role in the transition to low‐carbon power generation. The expansion of offshore wind farms (OWFs) introduces anthropogenic electromagnetic fields (EMFs) from subsea power cables. Elasmobranchs, including sharks and rays, are sensitive to natural electric and magnetic fields used for navigation and prey ...

Beyond the Wind: Mapping Externalities and Their Role in Shaping Willingness To Pay for Wind Energy

Journal of Economic Surveys, EarlyView.
ABSTRACTWind power plays a central role in global low‐carbon energy transitions, offering significant environmental benefits through reduced greenhouse gas emissions and decreased reliance on fossil fuels. Yet, local opposition to wind projects persists, often driven by perceived externalities affecting communities and landscapes. This study conducts a

Climate Change, Demand Uncertainty, and Firms' Investments: Evidence from Planned Power Plants

The Journal of Finance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT How does demand uncertainty affect firms' investment decisions? We examine this question in the context of electricity‐producing firms' planned investments in new power plants. We measure uncertainty about future electricity demand using plausibly exogenous variation in temperature projections across scientific climate models. The results show

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 ...

Advanced Concept Offshore Wind Turbine Development

Journal of Advanced Computational Intelligence and Intelligent Informatics, 2014
Development of novel offshore wind turbine designs and technologies are necessary to reduce the cost of offshore wind energy since offshore wind turbines need to withstand ice and waves in addition to wind, a markedly different environment from their onshore counterparts.

Environmental Justice in the Brazilian Coastal Food Systems: Policies, Institutions, and Knowledges on Small‐Scale Fishers and Energy Development

World Food Policy, Volume 12, Issue 2, November 2026.
ABSTRACT This study explores environmental justice issues in coastal food systems, focusing on conflicts between small‐scale fisheries and the energy sector due to differing goals in managing food and energy sources. It does so by examining the interdependence between institutions, policies, and different types of knowledge; key elements in building ...
