ABSTRACT This study develops an integrated GIS and multicriteria decision making (MCDM) approach supported by the Interval Type‐2 Fuzzy Risk Deviation Performance Index (IT2F‐RDPI) method to assess the wind energy potential in Diyarbakır Province. Fifteen criteria, including wind speed, slope, land use, elevation, soil structure, and proximity to ...

Application of particle image velocimetry to wind turbine wakes
Wind turbine performance is critically dependent on the geometry of the rotor wake. Acquisition of detailed wake data is of major importance for further development of wind turbine studies.

Global Renewable Energy Infrastructure Resilience Under Climate Risks
ABSTRACT Accelerating global climate risks increasingly threaten renewable energy infrastructure (REI). However, little evidence on heterogeneous impacts of climate risks on REI across countries, the moderating role of REI resilience, and post‐disaster recovery patterns is available, despite their critical importance for guiding resilient energy ...
