This general study shows the success of the information theory techniques in describing wind ramps. 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 f...
In Scotland, peatlands are particularly important as 60% of the UK total peatland (4% of European peatland) is found here (Marsden and Ebmeier, 2012). Indeed, concerns about carbon loss from the siting of windfarms on peatland were reportedly a contributing factor in the rejection of the ...
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 ...
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
The yearly energy produced (EP) considers significant parameters, such as the turbine rate power (TRP) in MW and the lifetime in hours which influences the turbine capacity factor (TCF). The TCFs are assumed to be 0.35 for onshore, 0.45 for the offshore shallow-water wind farms and 0.47...
For onshore wind turbines, the value of the capacity factor CF(P) in Poland was 25.5% in 2021 and 30.1% in 2022. As a result of the simulation, it was calculated that for the planned offshore wind farms, the capacity factor CF(B) would be 55.6% under 2022 wind speed conditions. ...
The purpose of this article is to present the legal aspects of landscape protection in the context of onshore wind energy investments in Poland, in compari
Tilt Renewables has eight wind farms with a combined capacity of 637 MW. The company also has a development pipeline that exceeds 1,600 MW of planning approved wind, solar and storage projects. The directors also pointed out in their letter earlier in September that the offer did not fact...
Vestas wind turbines are designed to match these different wind classes and wind speeds, so it is not always the size of the rotor or the generator rating (in MW) that determines the electricity production of the turbine; but wind class is a dominant factor...
