A new digital twin project led by floating wind developer Principle Power will use advanced wave behavior analysis to improve load calculations critical to long-term design efficiency, project partners told New Energy Update. Last month, U.S. group Principle Power announced it would lead a consortium of public and private ...
A pertinent task during wind power project development studies is the post-processing analysis of the wind resource simulation results. There is widespread interest in extracting more information from typical commercial software – like WindSim, OpenWind, Meteodyn, WAsP – at a minimal cost during the prospection and/or ...
Classical criteria such as Q and delta are hereby confronted with a new definition. A pertinent task for wind power project development studies is the post-processing analysis of the wind resource simulations in order to improve the project design. ...
The main objective of this paper is to investigate some key issues related to the atmospheric stability for the development of wind power projects, aiming to contribute to increase the reliability of this source and its safe insertion into the energy matrix. It is also important to note that the techniques and methodologies to be described were ...
South Africa's 2010 Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) targeted 8.4 GW of wind and 8.4 GW solar capacity by 2030 and in 2011 the government launched its Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Procurement Program (REIPPPP) to accelerate development. ...
South Africa's 2010 Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) targeted 8.4 GW of wind and 8.4 GW solar capacity by 2030 and in 2011 the government launched its Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Procurement Program (REIPPPP) to accelerate development. ...
The wind power generation is developing fast during the past several years. ...
In this study, the energy generations of both WECS for the same month were estimated using a developed wind power predictor. The recorded five–minute averaged weather data for the period of 32 days (31st December 2009 to 31 January 2010) were obtained for this study. The long term power generations of both WECS in time steps of ...
Even amid policy uncertainty in major wind power markets, wind developers still managed to set a new record for installations in 2012, with 44,000 megawatts of new wind capacity worldwide. ...
“In the offshore wind power industry, logistics planning is the dominant driver to avoiding costly mistakes,” highlighted Jim Lanard, President, Offshore Wind Development Coalition. ...
Thus far, almost all of this wind power has been tapped on land; worldwide just 4,600 megawatts of offshore wind farms were operating as of mid-2012. ...
Working to decarbonise China's energy future Located in Taonan, Jilin Province, north east China, this 49.3 MW grid connected wind farm demonstrates the economic viability of wind power technology in a region where, until now, it has been seen as marginal. ...
Each of these corporate icons is placing big bets and hundreds of millions of dollars on a future powered by wind and solar power. Apple just joined them, announcing plans to power its main U.S. data center in Maiden, North Carolina, entirely with renewable energy by the end of this year. ...
Recently, there has been a substantial growth in wind energy in the USA. An increasing number of states are experiencing market design, planning and investment in wind energy with this growth. Currently, wind installations exist in more than half of the states. This paper explores the market factors that have been driven and affected by ...
Although China's wind power industry has achieved great achievements in the past 20 years, both opportunities and challenges coexist for the future development. Currently, the Chinese government is actively making relevant policies to guide wind power development moving toward a beneficial ...
This paper is a modest attempt to study the growth and performance of wind farms in India. India occupies the 5th place in the world in wind energy generation after Germany, the USA, Denmark and Spain, and has an installed capacity of more than 2485 MW of wind energy, comprising both commercial projects (2418 MW) and demonstration projects ...
This paper analyses the influence of government policy on the promotion of wind power in different countries in Europe with focus on the development in Denmark. It is concluded that government policy has had a decisive effect on wind power implementation in the first phase of the modern wind ...
The study was based on the application of experience curves to wind power systems, but the approach is generic and can be used in other energy technologies. In the study, experience curves for wind power were developed, and it has been demonstrated that different types of experience curves can be ...
This paper aims at quantifying the impact of government policy and clean development mechanism (CDM) on wind power development in China. Firstly we review the background of Chinese wind power development and policy, as well as literature of climate change and CDM. We then present ...
China is endowed with rich wind resources. During the early 1990s, China's wind power capacity grew at an average annual rate of 50%. Total installed wind farm capacity reached 344.8 MW by 2000. However, the pace of wind power development has slowed down in recent years. Through ...
