Applications to specific zones could improve the efficiency and capacity factor of particular wind turbines depending on their exposure to wind streams or the blocking of nearby mountains and forestry. The information theory techniques presented here allow for a different and novel viewpoint t...
The wind industry is increasingly concerned about attempts by Conservative Party-controlled councils in England to introduce buffer zones between wind farms and housing. The move threatens to complicate an already difficult permitting system, which last year saw only 25% of applications for wind farms...
If a wind turbine is operating under more benign environmental conditions than defined in the corresponding IEC class, remaining structural reserves can be left at the end of the design lifetime. In addition, structural reserves may arise if the capacity factor and operational hours of a turbine ...
Wind energy is currently the second largest form of renewable electric generation, behind hydroelectric generation, with installed capacity growing faster than other types of renewable energy2. The growth of wind energy as a sustainable energy source has led to scientific and engineering questions that...

Wind energy is anticipated to become a backbone of the future energy system. Ageing wind turbine fleets, increasing land-use constraints and rising relevance of societal factors make the deployment of land-based (onshore) wind energy ever more complicate
Owing to these restrictions, Ukraine has been able to install 12 times more onshore wind energy capacity than England since the war broke out with Russia. Ed Miliband, the newly appointed energy security and net zero secretary, said: “This government was elected with a mandate to take immedia...
The CO2 equivalent of wind farm energy is calculated using the combined margin (CM) from Equation (13), with Malawi's CO2 emission factor is estimated at 107 tCO2/GWh as of 2021 [76]. The capacity factor (CF) is the ratio of actual output energy to the maximum possible output energy ...
A recent review has identified that suitable offshore locations with high wind capacity factors can enable competitive green hydrogen production, however the main barrier to implementation is the economics [25]. The subsequent transport of hydrogen at sea would be via pipelines or ships, and on ...
