The importance of taking into account wake and blockage effects when assessing wind farm energy production. Since DNV published the consequences of neglecting blockage and its impact on energy production [1], and Orsted presented an update of its long-term financial targets taking into account the blockage and wake effects [2], these two effects have become one of the hottest topics in the ...
Is Wind Energy Actually Sustainable? Wind energy is usually considered a cleaner alternative to traditional sources of fossil fuel and is renewable, with much-reduced carbon emissions. However, its full range of implications is worth considering. Any discussion on the sustainability of wind energy necessarily involves wind turbine technology, recycling, and natural effects. Let’s explore ...

The continuous rise in carbon dioxide emissions for the last 30 years has led to increased atmospheric temperatures today. And the environment is getting more and more polluted due to the rapid industrialization and usage of fossil fuels for energy production. That is why there is a growing global demand for sustainable electricity, ensuring access to clean and affordable energy in order to stop ...
Thermal insulation reduces the transfer of thermal energy between objects which have different temperatures or are within range of radiative influences. Heat flow is an inevitable outcome when objects of different temperatures interact. Thermal insulation provides a region in which thermal conduction is reduced or thermal radiation is reflected by the lower-temperature ...
Global onshore wind speeds are rising, new study finds Global onshore wind speeds have risen since 2010, after decades of decline, boosting potential wind energy by around 17% between 2010 and 2017, according to a new academic study published in Nature. ...
Objective: In 2005, AEE promoted a project related to the prediction of wind farm energy production, known as the Prediction Exercise. The project was financed by AEE and by companies that own the parks, as well as by a subsidy from the PROFIT programme of the Ministry of Education and Science. The Prediction Exercise consisted of a comparative Round Robin of ...
“System costs can be further reduced if wind farms are sited where the timing of wind generation matches electricity demand rather than in areas that maximize wind energy production,” Wu said. ...
Averages are often used in wind energy when estimating the energy production of a proposed wind farm. ...
The theme of this year’s conference was the coming renewable energy boom in Alberta. The challenge for renewable energy projects is not securing the fuel, the sun and wind are free. ...
As in other places around the world, Mexico’s wind boom runs the risk of bypassing the poor, which is why we need new global standards. Wind power is booming in Mexico. With more than 3,200 megawatts in operation, the country is on par with Japan. By 2018 it expects to have 10,000 MW installed as part of the government’s Climate Action Plan. Promising, right? Scratch the surface of ...

There are different types of clean energy technologies that are available today for electricity generation. Most of these have a number of benefits that different communities can explore and put into good use. Here are some clean sources of energy. Biomass Energy Biomass energy is an alternative source of renewable and clean energy that is one of the oldest and most effective sources of green ...
The primary goal of this project is to develop a framework of advanced offshore measurements to support emergency response, oil and gas exploration and lease decisions, wind energy research and development, and meteorological and air quality forecasting. ...
The American Lung Association's agenda for the new administration, Protect the Air We Breathe: An Agenda for Clean Air, states: "Climate, energy and clean air are inexorably linked. Solutions that lead to cleaner air must be included in any approach to cleaner, more efficient energy use and reductions in global warming." 1 Wind energy is one such solution - a clean energy source that can ...
Less or more accurate power curve models are generally used to simulate the wind turbine electrical production versus the available wind speed. However, if such models are adapted to large machines, this is not the case for small ones. The objective of this paper is to study the impact of different small-scale wind turbines power curves and wind distributions on the electrical production. An ...
This paper describes the analysis of near-surface wind speeds in Western Oklahoma. The goals of this research are to characterise the nocturnal low-level jet (LLJ) in the region, and to assess the impact wind variability, vertical shear and the LLJ on wind energy calculations. Results show the seasonal variability in wind characteristics as well as in the vertical wind shear, and also illustrate ...
Wind farms as close as Benton and White counties—and others around the world—are boosting Tippecanoe County’s economy by at least $20 million a year, reports Jody Hamilton, director of economic development for Greater Lafayette Commerce. “From land title searches to construction labor and turbine components, businesses in Greater Lafayette are enjoying new revenues, and that figure doesn’t ...
The paper summarises the refereed contributions of seven articles reviewed for publication in the IJETP – Special Issue on "Reactive compensation for wind farms". The main goal of the special issue is to provide a forum to exchange information on the reactive power compensation requirements for wind farms and introducing possible price mechanisms for today's deregulated power industry. ...
