The Wind Energy Technologies Office also researched the effects on water resources. In this same timeframe, wind energy can save as much as 260 billion gallons of water. That volume of water is the same as about 400,000 Olympic-size swimming pools. 2. Offshore Energy We have already determ...
(1) explore whether inland wind farms in deserts have significant effects on vegetation and whether the effects are positive or negative; (2) quantify the vegetation variations caused by the operation of wind farms in ecosystems; and (3) analyse whether the effects are related to local climate ...
Currently, parts of the potential energy generated by the wind turbines could not be transmitted to the electric power grid in China, leading to a serious wind energy rejection problem. In some local areas (e.g. Gansu province), the wind energy rejection rate reaches 47% in the first half...
Promoting Wind Energy: Evaluating the Effects of State Renewable Energy IncentivesStoutenborough, James W
Wind poweris an environmentally sustainable technology that is likely to be part of the solution to the climate change, air pollution, and energy security problems. Despite many positive benefits, the rapid development of wind power has raised concerns about some potential adverse environmental impacts...
Studying the helium gas flow trajectories at different discharge parameters allows one to distinguish between the effects of streamer propagation or space charge drift causing the electric wind as well as to determine the role of electrons and (positive) ions in wind generation....
As we have seen here that the impact of wind power and the environment can be positive or negative depending on your outlook. The energy output of a wind turbine over its operational life is far greater than the energy used to construct, operate and eventually dismantle the turbine. The visu...
We review particle input models currently used to study the effects of particle energy input on the thermosphere-ionosphere system. We describe the objective of the climatology development, the optimal low-altitude database to be used, and the selection of indices to be incorporated into the model...
Recent energy tensions observed as a consequence of the ongoing war in Ukraine have highlighted the risk of over-reliance on offshored fossil fuel-based energy and complemented empirical findings on the detrimental effects of energy insecurity and fossil fuel dependence (Doğan et al., 2023a,b)...
