Vortex identification in wind resource assessment: Application of a new vortex criterion for an improved wind resource analysis
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 the development stage of some wind power project. The current paper ...

Vortex identification for the study of atmospheric flow: a new vortex criterion applied to wind resource assessment
Vortex identification is a non-consensual point of discussion among fluid mechanics researchers. 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. There is a large interest in extracting more ...

Hydrogen production on Utsira
The hydrogen plant on Utsira has started producing electricity. This means that the 10 households in the island community west of Karmøy are one step closer to becoming a selfsufficient hydrogen society. From the summer, 10 of the households on the island of Utsira will get all their electricity in the form of renewable energy. This is the world's first full-scale autonomous renewable ...

The explosion of green marketing claims: FTC jumps into the fray
Most people would agree that “green” sells. For example, according to the New York Times, consumers spent approximately US$54 million in 2007 on carbon credits to support tree planting, wind farms, solar power generation, and other projects intended to offset greenhouse gas emissions created by driving and flying activities. While there is broad agreement about the impact of green marketing, ...

Setting a course for net-zero: Repsol’s role in the energy transition
In December 2019, Repsol committed to becoming a net-zero emissions company by 2050. The international multi-energy company was the first in the oil and gas industry to make this ambitious pledge, raising more than a few eyebrows around the globe. This did not, however, come out of the blue. Repsol was also the first company in the sector to endorse the Kyoto Protocol. The decision to take ...
