Large-scale climate modes of variability could also affect the likelihood of grid-wide supply issues through their role in modulating weather systems over Australia. For example, a theoretical optimal set of wind farms would still be exposed to substantial interannual variability due to the influence...
Those destroying the Queensland bushland for wind farms in the “reckless race” toward renewables are “forgetting the first principle of what they’re trying to do” which is improve the environment, says Nationals Leader David Littleproud. “What they’re doing is actually degrading ...
Wind farms in Australia have encountered a range of community responses, sometimes resulting in opposition. This has caused the wind energy industry to evaluate and amend their community engagement practices. Community Engagement Plans detail wind farm developers' internal intentions' for stakeholder ...

Because of the change of bidding rules in 2007, our estimates can be interpreted as the lower bound of the true joint learning rates. Our model also indicates that most learning about the installation and operation of wind farms was common to the whole industry (i.e., we found little ...
Introduction The development of offshore wind farms (OWFs) has rapidly advanced in recent years [1,2]. For the OWF export system, a short section of submarine cable that is enclosed by a protective J-tube is laid between the sea floor and the offshore platform. The continuous thermal ...
This technology has become a popular choice for integrating large-scale wind farms, as it effectively mitigates the negative impacts of wind power fluctuations and interruptions on the electrical grid. Due to these advantages, VSCs are the preferred choice in HVDC transmission. However, in most ...
The accurate wind prediction can be used to understand the wind energy potential, in wind farm designs, managements of wind farms and power grids, and much more [3]. Thus, the accurate wind speed or power prediction has become a critical task with deep impact and large benefits for the ...
